Flowers

I was thinking about how gifting flowers to a loved one is similar to a cat giving you a dead bird, since the flowers die quickly after being cut and organized into bouquets.

The most passionate gift ever given

For it is the same as 

Killing an innocent, beautiful, and

Delicate life for the sake of love

And handing it off as a sweet sentiment 

I dream of touching his hair

Softer than any silk or rose petals

Thicker than mine by abundance 

Darker than night itself

I'll dream of your sweet sentiments

Of gift giving innocent lives

In the form of a bouquet 

What do the flowers speak?

If I were to ask them 

I believe they would speak your name

For you are the best gift giver

Of sweet sentiments and trinkets

Here I stand waiting 

For the day you'll give me

Those soft lives to hold in the form of

Green stems that taper upwards 

Into my sweet sentiments
