I fall in love
with those who then abandon me...

My eyes swim at every blink,
swollen with emotional rain...

A shadow has come to stay with me,
Crawling and clawing into my bed at night...

More words to you, boy -
the cycle repeating...

Behind my home there is a garden
of exquisite flowers glittering in the light...

I was alone at the funeral,
my blonde hair flowed in natural waves catching...

Hush.
Quiet...

You are a rose.
Am I cliche to say it...

When we met
I tied a ribbon around your wrist...

Set the standard far too high,
and tell her she just needs to try...
