Collecting Flowers

I love collecting past lovers flowers, letting them dry, and watch the color fade
I remember Zach placed the corsage on my hand
I saved that one for a year
Amir brought me roses the first time we went out
He left me in the car outside of Kroger to pick them up and I pretended I didn\'t know
I saved those for three years
I still have Andrew\'s.  
You see I fall into these episodes where I feel the worst pain
It\'s easy to get distracted by life and forget who you are and where you came from
I used to have it engraved on both my hands
Now only deep wounds are left on my heart.
When the world gets quiet or when too much enters my life, I go back to find her
I lay in bed crying for hours
Not all of us come from the land of sunshines and rainbows
My land was filled with tears
I sometimes wonder if I\'ve used my lifetime supply of tears
or if I will soon.
