What You Did
You'll never understand
What you did
People like to plant gardens in my heart
They'll scatter seeds across my soul like
Rice after a wedding
Flowers will blossom and
I try everything to stop it because
The day they turn around and tell me they no longer
Need the little I have to offer
The flowers die
You
You didn't just plant a garden
You offered me a sea
With everything beautiful;
And tamed it the way
I didn't know how.
But then you left and
The sea dried up like an
Old woman's mouth when she has a cold
Leaving nothing
The beauty is gone
So now
I curl in a ball and try to
Replicate the way you
Tamed my sea
But it's turning and crashing
Leaving me helpless
Hopeless and
Alone.
And there are no more flowers
And there are no more waves
Because now everything is still except
the silent scream of
blood, pouring out of my shattered heart.
