Wildflower
I was a wildflower before you entered my garden
I let the wind touch my petals
As I danced under the sky with others flowers
but as soon as you stepped upon the green grass that led to my garden
The wind stopped and the flowers didn’t dance
To me you looked like a god
everything i ever wanted was what you believed me to think you were
So I let you cut off my stem and take me from the ground into your world
your reality
for a while you gave me what i always desired, love, affection, you fed me words that i thought were only meant for me.
But then one day it all changed
you stopped caring, I was dehydrated from the lack of love you gave me, the words soon turned into bee stings and the sun went away. My petals no longer felt the warmth it did before.
Was i not pretty enough?
Did i not satisfy what you longed for in flower.
My petals wilted from the cold
The sun hid behind the rain clouds and the tears from my sorrow filled
The pot you put me in.
Then you brought other flowers around
Flowers that you grew more fond of
That’s when I broke
My petals began to fall
You stopped noticing me
Then one day you came back
And i felt the warmth once more
Something I didn’t know I longer for so deeply
but that warmth didn’t last long
You kicked me out of your reality
As I could not go back to my garden
I laid where you left me to parish
Leaving me with only the dirt you planted me in
My petals are gone now
I am nothing but a stem
