Poem
Here I lie in your garden of hurt, surrounded by the bitter truth, that you have embedded into this dirt The loving hands that used to tenderly brush the dirt away, now has no time to till away in this garden that he helped to create So instead of the beautiful flowers that once resided here, that he loved to touch and smell their fragrant scent, lies nothing but weeds of forgotten days, now that he has something that is meant See I used to be his happiness, I was his retreat, his serenity, but now I am no longer needed, I am just an annoyance, like a ragweed So here I lie surrounded by what you used to love, and I crave and need your sustenance, just a little touch Please won’t you cry for me and just let the tears give me the peace that I seek? I am withering away in this garden of hurt and all that I need is just a little relief I need to be wanted, to be cared for, like you once did, I need you to show me love and nurture me, you don’t know how much I need this But instead you chose to destroy the garden of hurt that once meant something to you, with your words of truthfulness that came out like poisonous venom from you Why don’t you just dig me up and throw me to the side? The way that I feel you did, in my real life You promised to place roots down in me and you wanted our love to grow, but when it all became too much like work, you decided that you must go You couldn’t take the time, you couldn’t give me what it was that I needed from you, although what you may not understand is that I wanted nothing, I only wanted you But that was the one thing that you were unable to give to me, and I understand why because you already had a rose garden, and you didn’t have time for the weeds.
