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
