Damn your rock hearts
I just want suitable soil
For the growth of my

Lilac promises
Rose Devotions
Violet feelings
& Tulip emotions

Yet you seemed only
To enjoy the scenery.
Only the depth of
A physical presence.

You showed determination
& Persistence
In your quest to
Break every lilac...

Break each lilac
Trample each violet
And set fire
To the weeping remains



Think what you will

Of my garden of ashes


I still think it's beautiful
