Mama thought she planted a sunflower Bright And beautiful But she was wrong She planted a rose Dark blood and envy Tongue sharp like thorns that grew to protect Heart cold but soft like the petals that cracked Off Been used and sacrificed For the Name of love No wonder her rose wilts And tears herself apart Ridding itself of all the red drips of blood Till it's a skeleton With barbed wire Cutting and tearing everything apart Even Her own mother's heart So tell me you love me So I can cut off your tongue To remember the pattern it made When it ended my war But listen Love is patient Love is kind But damn is it selfish when it comes to my mind I ruin everything Sometimes on purpose How am I suppose to offer everything when I know nothing? How can I build something, When I've been stuck with my own foundation? Blurring the instructions into lines Why can't I put myself back together? Petals in the water My heart is a skeleton Left over bones Ice cold Shatters under the warmth of your touch How cold So I took my anger from you And dropped it like missiles On the innocent eyes watching You found me caged in my well built cocoon Made from my brittle bones and rotten flesh But you made me open up like the rest A butterfly Just so you can feel needed Teach me how to fly just with you and only you Why to fill the void she left in you? Agape inside of you? The one you've had So Love is patient and it's kind But yes it messes with my mind But I want sunflowers to grow In the saddest parts of me I want sunflowers to grow In the hollow parts of me To allow myself to breathe To reflect where light can't see To be beautiful
