Flowers

Flowers from my love!
Blessing from above?
Symbol in disguise..
Breathing in their scent, I close my eyes

Momentary bliss,
Holding out for another kiss
Wishing for much more
Wondering what for

Red and purple, white and pink
I replenish the water from my kitchen sink
Positioning the vase by my bed
So thoughts of you always fill my head

Memorizing the card so I can read again at will
I hold my breath as you say words I don't want to hear
And they remain very still
Uprooted from the ground and now unable to grow
In bloom as fleetingly as our love
Flowers
