What of Affection?

By Nalin Reddy

I Bloom and Blossom,

all you can see are my petals.

Do they please you ?

Should I be worried,

if I can’t please you anymore ?

Do I have a choice ?

Growing up with you,

yet not growing old.

A hobby is all I am to you.

What of affection,

when core is corrupted ?

A lost cause.

Healing me won’t heal you,

but you knew that already.
