Someone asked me to draw
Draw what heartbreak looks like
I finally got tired of drawing a broken heart
And I started drawing you

your everlasting and green,
growing like the leaves
your soul has blossomed a flower
beautiful
isn't that just lovely,
lovely?
as more petals grow
let me be your water
because we unfortunately grow
in this long and hurting desert
let me wash over you
I want to make it dazzling and new
my perfect rose
grow your leaves
all over me
till we're both just a everlasting garden

Struggling under your net
Captured but not kept
You will not take me in and keep me
But release is not imminent either
Fascinated by my colors, the way I move
Attracted to my unique song
Amused and entertained
But not committed to my upkeep
Play with me when you need a lift
Draw me in and stroke my pretty feathers
Mesmerize me with another smile
Eyes shining, looking into mine
Feed my weakness for affection, connection
And then return to your life
And leave me here
Struggling
Fighting, but losing strength
Yearning for actual love
Safety

Take me in and keep me
Or let me go

It would feel like release either way.
