i believed in the million words
sweat nothings in your ear
why paint a picture
when you could draw one in your mind
detailed descriptions from the heart
cause
i could be bent like a willow
by kind words and gentle deeds
placing your hand on my back
and telling me how nice i looked
i was open to more
heart lay bear to the dream
the fairytale
i was nimble like a weeping cherry
by the prospect
the idea
of my one love
great feelings for the all american dream
i lost myself in you
and the happiness of gray
not you or me but us
a blend of shades
now i am reborn
spring awaking
under my own strength
cause all these years
i fed myself
found nutrients in my surroundings
pruned and cared and loved
all the parts of me
gnarled and smooth
roots
bark
trunk
crown
leaves
and while you are gone
i have the most beautiful pink flowers
in bloom
