Roses Vs Sunflowers
Woke up with roses
Their company puts me at ease
The morning sun kisses them
Adding color to my bleached walls
Woke up with their soul
That radiates from the bottom of the vase
Like my heart, their petals are full
And together they breathe with me
August vacated
Leaving me with their corpses
Their vibrance now holds bad memories
Tears and a broken heart surrounded them
October knocked on my door
The fall breeze I cling to each year came with
Sunflowers showed up on my nightstand
Replacing trauma and bad memories
The feeling of relief fills my chest
And a small smile joined in
Waking up with sunflowers
Their company is my comfort
They have lasted through the storms
Of the remaining tears and heartache
Like my heart, their petals are full
And together they breathe with me
