Denied Renaissance

Outside! Outside, past the green,
Past the cold, blue statue queen,
Stands the cutting of a brush
Winds all bid the buds to hush.

“Farewell! Farewell to my friends.
I leave thee all to thine own ends!
Ah, bittersweet the place I go,”
Cries out the blooms enticing woe.

“Sunsets! Sunsets I shan’t see,
As long as Vessels covet me!
They set my stem in water low,
And yet I can no longer grow.”

Notes

This is the experience poem of the set. Where the 'innocence' poem is all happiness and expectation, the 'experience' poem is more likely to show bitterness, sadness, or pessimism. It is the melancholy side of the story, though not necessarily bad.
