I start small,
and grow big.
Then I fall,
down,
down,
down.
Around me,
I see dead leaves,
and a bee,
buzz,
buzz,
buzz.
It stares at me with its black beady eyes.
"You are immortal, trust me."
The bee lies,
liar,
liar,
liar.
I close my eyes as the bee flies away.
"Haha, bye bye little red flower. Get tricked," it whispers quietly.
