Gemmation of a Faded Promise

how trivial i must have been
to have been laid to rest
so
haphazardly.
we were never to dance
nor enjoy the drink,
though you made sure
to have me believe
you wanted it so.
the days are longer
now,
as are the shadows
of you
that linger.
what was i
to you?

tell me,
faded flower;
what was i
to you?
