I thought you were going to be my lucky token
put the penny in at the carny and have a teddy to elope with
I thought this time when I felt my blossoms open
but as quickly as the buds reached for sun, I closed them
you were ticking the right boxes. watering my soil
softening the earth where I stood, easing stems toil
fed me potting mix to enrich my life. let you study my bloom
the scent was so intoxicating, when someone fusses and swoons
a black rash is littering my foilage, spreading from root to tip
the food you gave to nourish, poisoned my core a bit
aphids are eating me. there's no elixir to save my skin
there would have been had your mixture been pure. but it's is basked in sin
I was going to open my petals for you. let my roses draw you in
allow you to pick she loves me nots. I was ready to dive in and win
If your intentions were pure. I was planning on change
I was going to eradicate my poison. To love you without the pain
I was ready to pluck my wayward leaves. the ones blocking the bloom
shed them. grow new healthy core strengthening supports
but you showed me why I rotted in the first place. So now I'll blossom no more
you'll smell the scent of mould. I will close myself off once more
a straggly little stem. no leaves. no flowers. no system support
I figure what's the point. it was over before my first awakening
I should have known better to think he that poisons. Could be the one to SAVE ME.
