I Hide Myself Within My Flower

I Hide Myself Within My Flower - meaning Summary
Presence Hidden in Objects
The speaker describes concealing their self inside a flower so that when the bloom withers in a loved one’s vase, the recipient senses an unexpected loneliness. It compresses themes of hidden identity, mediated intimacy, and the fragility of presence: emotional connection is experienced indirectly through objects and their decay. The poem suggests both a protective retreat and a deliberate test of whether absence will be noticed and felt as yearning.
