flowers in a storm

 
 
I want to say that
hope and kindness
are flowers that
haven't died,
 
but I
can't.
 
a killing frost has
come to this
world...
 
and I
can't.
 
I want to say that
love will save us all
in the end,
 
but I
can't.
 
love lies shipwrecked
somewhere off of
the coast of Tristan
da Cunha,
 
and there has been  
no rescue party sent  
out,
 
so I
can't.
