There is an orchid someone gave me Flat and pressed under the glass It once was pink and vivid But today its day has passed Its brown leaf spread weak and thin That orchid feels just like my bones and skin Its heartbeat centre of its soul Is now just furry shelter to protect it from the cold Laid out flat for visual effect Today I feel a lot like that I put it in its frame eternal joy And now its just another burned out toy You should have seen the way It slowly just decayed I feel a lot like that orchid today
