Rose Bush
"Staring at a rose bush from a distance
Its truth hid behind its beauty
Falling of a cliff, hoping you might be caught
Knowing deep down, he never will
I was in love with his mental perspective
Months went by without knowing
I fell into a quick sand pit,
Didn't even realize I was sinking
Certain songs played strangled my brain
They told me that ime could solve this
Curious about its purpose, yet blank stare
Brain disconnected from my heart
My time and feelings were swept away
Broom of memories all in a picture now
Thoughts of affection together would poison me
Expectations of the future will shatter my heart
He's in love with someone else,
Those love songs are for a different circuit
All those heart pounding moments,
Were just pointless exercises on your heart
Stop fanning him down at every sweat,
Or sweeping up every mess he made
Another feeling that's unrequited,
Have your eyes flooded out of socket yet?
Circumstances, timing, and judgment
These things will always be glued to him
Take a step back, and unleash yourself
There's other dogs in the park to love"
