Asphodel

Asphodel on your grave,
Tears unshed, words I crave.
Unspoken echoes, heavy as lead,
Regrets consume, love lies dead.

I failed to speak, lost in my pride,
A friendship severed, a love denied.
In my rudeness, I turned you cold,
Crushed our bond, a story untold.

I blame myself, the cruel fate,
In my hands, you met your state.
Alone at night, I weep and sigh,
In your memory, every day I die.

Forgiveness sought in death's reprieve,
Forgetting how to live, I grieve.
In the silence of the night, I plead,
Lily, forgive, as I wither like a weed
