The Flower Drowns

The flower never blooms if it is drowned
Just as the ice will never melt in the frost
You rain
You can’t stop
There is no room for air, no room for growth
And when the leaves begin to wilt, and the roots withdraw
You hail
Angry wind, cold bullets tear at the petals
When you see what is left and it does not please you
You cry, and like the sun you apologize
You melt the ice
unfortunately the flower is an annual
and it has already drowned

Cupid’s arrow lands and brings...

Ouch, it’s that pain in my neck again
After it starts I start seeing red… hearts that is
Circling my head like those birds in cartoons
But this isn’t just hit, I’ve just been harpooned
It’s been two long years, or was it one point five?
I’m not used to this stuff, this mind exercise…
I’m trying to relax and just play it cool,
But my heart feels like it just went back to school
All these rules…
What do I do?
Gotta play hard to get, leave a little mystery
Or I could wear my heart on my sleeve ….
Ok, here’s the drill, it’s always the same
Just be yourself and see if he’s game.
