Winter's Beauty

A flower in a garden,
Yet I feel so alone,  
Surrounded by beauty,  
Suffocating slowly,  
Feeling as if I were a mistake.  
Seasons are changing,  
So am I gradually,  
I enjoy the sun,  
But I love the winter,  
The cold atmosphere intertwines with my soul.  
 
He came in, he saw me,  
He took me up from this dreary place,  
This creature who I fell for,  
Something about him seemed elegant, romantic,  
Yet, so strange.  
He called me 'Winter's Beauty',  
Said I was strong through the storms,  
Listening to him describe me,  
Felt like heaven on Earth.  
 
Time passed, seasons changed,  
Oddly, so did he,  
He gave me the cold shoulder,  
Even though I'm accustomed to it,  
Something about it made me feel blue,  
Suddenly she came in,  
A tulip to brighten your day,  
Fragranced in the sweetest perfume,  
Her scent had hypnotized him.  
 
He left me to suffer, to wither away,  
But like he said,  
I'm winter's beauty,  
I'll be strong through this storm,  
I'll wither today,  
But tomorrow I'll brighten someone else's EVERYDAY.

Author's Note
Clymatis urophylla a flower that's nicknamed winter's beauty.
It's blooms during the harsh winter.
Compared it to a strong woman.
Even when she's down, been given up on she still comes out strong.
