-flower
you picked me up
and i was happy
to be in the arms
of the one i loved
you watered me
cared for me
gave me the sun
and i bloomed
while your departure
loomed
over the gardens of our love
i felt the presence of a thunderstorm
seeping it's way into what i thought
was "our" garden
you went into your hiding
to protect yourself
without thinking of someone else
i watched you care for another
while you left me to wilt.
