The Drowning Lilly

Save her,
She's slowly drowning.
It's hard for her to breathe.
All these people keep clustering her,
Pushing her down more.
You have the chance to save her now go before it's to late.
The darkness will consume her if you do not haste.
Waves crash over her in rhythmic beats.
Steadily she goes under.
The voices of everyday life seem so far away,
But in reality they are all so near.
Life tugs and pulls her spirit down.
Waring it all down to nothing.
The flower petals fall.
The bud no longer blooms.
Can't you give her the air she needs to breathe?
Rescue her from her castle tower.
Help I'm afraid she's drowning.
There's not much time left I'm afraid.
Maybe her life was all just in vain.
The petals fall,
And the flower no longer blooms.
