a sad patch of earth

a sad patch of earth

i am bellowing out whispers

screaming secrets

of the love

i had for you

before we grew together

like a weed choking a daisy

i could never remember

the official names of them

but i always saw what weeds

could do

i am a lame gardener

focused on roses that died

as i laid the seeds

i did love you once

but that secret

has gotten very quiet now.

The garden needs tending and nurturing. Let those weeds get out of control and your roses will suffocate. Relationships can go this way too if you allow it. A sad poem of what can go wrong with love.

it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all.
that love will still be dancing around an endless sky with infinite stars for many years to come. just remember that instead of looking down while lying the seeds, reach up and say hello. -mabel mae
