her daisy crown

her daisy crown lies humble on the top shelf,

now part of the golden antiques-

those who have collected more dust than memories.

it is now that no words rest on her tongue,

instead, her head lays heavy on her pillow;

for this time, she is not draped in royalty.

her fear of becoming this, now true,

she can't help but wonder how she fell-

her world has lost all its colour.
