Like a Flower in Bloom

Like a flower in bloom,
I am delicate to your touch.
When you walk into the room,
It all becomes too much.

Like the loving gardener,
You tend to my every need.
Long time ago, I became a goner,
When with one glance, you planted the seed.

Like the glorious blue sky,
Warmth and light you showered.
Never knowing you to lie,
Under your hands I flowered.

Your voice soft and tender,
I grew as full as you desired.
All myself I did surrender,
I didn’t know you grew tired.

Like a flower wilts and dies,
So does this heart of mine.
You’re a handsome being of lies,
From you, the sun does shine.

Petal by petal you tore,
Into my heart, soul and mind.
Never to leave, you swore,
A reason to stay you couldn't find.

Like all beautiful things come to an end,
Ours was cut short to the bud.
I can never call you my friend,
Because you play in the mud.

Like a rose trampled on the ground,
I am mushy, dying and still.
To hell and back our love was bound,
It was never my will.

Like a flower in bloom,
I am delicate to your touch,
When you walk into the room,
It all becomes too much.
