my thoughts: wildflowers.
i have a whole garden,
bright
and colorful,
dedicated to YOU,
and everyday,
more
and more
flowers grow
until
every
waking
moment
was spent
thinking of YOU.
i wanted
YOU
to know.
i wanted YOU
to feel the same
emotions
as me.
so i finally
worked up
the courage
to hand YOU
a bouquet
of those
wildflowers,
the stems
tied together
with
a ribbon.
i waited
with a nervous smile
and watched
as YOU
set the flowers aside
to
die.
YOU didn’t even
bother
to water
them.
now
i keep
my garden
guarded
with a
picket
fence,
and YOU
missed YOUR chance
to stop
and smell
the roses
so don’t
even try
coming back
because
i won’t let
YOU
in
