Garden of Emotions

A summer storm of tears
Raining down my face
Evidence of my heartache
Only pain to embrace.

My head a garden of confusion
Your words, seeds to implant
Thoughts growing wild with uncertainty
Weeds of disillusion the sad inhabitant.

Are you buried by my needs
Do I require too much care
You sow fear and unhappiness
Of this you seem unaware.

If happiness is the goal
If flowers are to bloom
If my heart you wish to keep
Stop spreading all this gloom.
