Rose Bush

"Staring at a rose bush from a distance Its truth hid behind its beauty Falling of a cliff, hoping you might be caught Knowing deep down, he never will I was in love with his mental perspective Months went by without knowing I fell into a quick sand pit, Didn't even realize I was sinking Certain songs played strangled my brain They told me that ime could solve this Curious about its purpose, yet blank stare Brain disconnected from my heart My time and feelings were swept away Broom of memories all in a picture now Thoughts of affection together would poison me Expectations of the future will shatter my heart He's in love with someone else, Those love songs are for a different circuit All those heart pounding moments, Were just pointless exercises on your heart Stop fanning him down at every sweat, Or sweeping up every mess he made Another feeling that's unrequited, Have your eyes flooded out of socket yet? Circumstances, timing, and judgment These things will always be glued to him Take a step back, and unleash yourself There's other dogs in the park to love"
