I have taken back my life
so much that the flowers have died
they lay lifeless on the counter
the same way i did as they bloomed
Is it selfish
that I really don't mind
the way they droop
The longing they carry
or the dark discolouration of petals
holding the open hands
outstretched by life itself
Goodbye flowers
it's been real

I have taken back my life
so much that the flowers have died
they lay lifeless on the counter
the same way i did as they bloomed
Is it selfish
that I really don't mind
the way they droop
The longing they carry
or the dark discolouration of petals
holding the open hands
outstretched by life itself
Goodbye flowers
it's been real
