Alex Roberson Poet I do not know?

My Unrequited Love

You grew on me 
You grew in me
I held you inside but I now realize
You would never have been with me 
I saw you in the flowers
That grew in the box
I pulled them up by the roots
And removed you from the plot
This is where your part 
In my story ends
I'll say goodbye
To what I thought could've been
I'll watch your petals whither
The nectar run dry
I'll starve the butterflies
And tell them goodbye
I'll bury them in the garden
Along with my hopes
I'll turn my love for you 
Into a rich compost
Let it break down & nourish everything within me
You've turned into a lesson
A lot of times when you're dealing with love
It just ain't worth all the stressin'
