Hidden Greenhouse

In her eyes alone They radiated with light When shone to another No longer a beautiful sight Why did they whither? Not appreciated among many And how it broke her heart But she still watered them plenty Locked away from the rest They sat in wait For a time and place Where another may appear For a moment of magic Another face as dear Other acceptable beauties were gazed upon So why us locked away? Other worthy ones were revered So why do we rot and stay? The flowers felt neglect Even with nightly hugs The flowers felt unsightly Even with kisses and love The flowers grew restless with envy Once a vibrated greenhouse Now a relic that's quite empty
