I Planted You a Flower
Cry out to me at night in my dreams,
And please be happy and devoid of screams.
Take me away to heaven with you,
And we'll be sacred once more,
No one else, just us two.
Be honest about your fears,
I'm always here to listen.
Talk without reservation,
I'll always be here without condition.
Make me cry for you,
As I always do,
And pull me through the valley,
Where all is soft and new.
The morning dew will glisten,
And sparkle in the breeze,
I'll let you fall on me,
From the tallest of the pine tree's.
I stated my decree,
I proclaimed all my views,
But I'd still die for you,
Did you even have a clue?
A clue that we all needed,
all of us knew,
That darkness would be the death of you.
You were so blue in the morning,
And black in the night,
Out of crazy mind,
Into insane sight.
No fights were shared,
All the glass on our toes,
So slippery trying to walk,
Not wanting you to know.
Cuz' if you knew how we felt,
Your guilt would've been worse.
Rain followed you around,
like a cloud with a curse.
I can't believe what has happened,
Since that sad day to went away,
Not even your kids or animals,
Could have made you stay.
You were in way too deep,
Deeper than a ditch,
On the side of the road you walked,
With stitches on your wrists.
But way out in the fields,
I planted you a flower,
And I water them everyday and every hour,
Your taste turned sour,
And sweet was your desire,
All all of a sudden,
You fell into the fire.
A fire only you could feel,
And for you it all seemed too real.
You stole my spirit,
When I pray can you even here it?
But I've been around way too long,
And I keep hearing our old songs,
Without you all along,
Your death has finally made me strong.
Uneasy as a drunk,
Unsure as a thief,
Your zipper just broke,
With rips on your sleeves.
What was it you wanted to achieve?
Just to find happiness and be free?
You brought me to a rainbow,
Then I fell upon my knees,
I beg you to visit me tonight,
Bring butterflies pretty please.
I needed you, and now you're gone...
I need your memory to make me strong.
