The Garden

Sometimes I go back to that garden we built

With the flowers blossoming and the sun shining

As I look around everything seems perfect

Til that one flower.

No matter how much I water it

It just rots and rots

Over time it takes over the other flowers

Leaving them all to

Wilt. 

I go back to that garden every now and then

Hoping a new flower will grow

Hoping the garden will start over

But it never does

And it never will.

This piece is about this toxic relationship that I was in and kept going back to even though it could never be fixed.
