The Lonely Flower

The ceiling is down,
The ground is up,
Left is right,
Right is left

 

You pull me close,
You push me away,
You dance around me,
Inside your warped head,

 

Yet I remain,
Planted,
Always the same

 

I’m yours,
You’re someone else’s,
I feel myself grow,
Only to be cut down,

 

Your storm,
Your angst,
Your heartbreak,
You can, you can’t,

 

Yet I remain,
Planted,
Always the same

 

You’re with me,
You’re against me,
Your lies,
Turn my rose black,

 

You confess,
Your heart rests elsewhere,
You watch the petals fall,
And show no remorse,

 

Yet I remain,
Planted,
Always the same,

 

The lonely flower,
You forgot to pick.
