I see now that you never loved me Even now I think You try to believe you still can one day-- Love me But my love for you was like a flower Several little petals The kind that If the wind blew, Would float away It wasn't the kind of flower you usually shopped for But it was beautiful enough So you put the flower on display One that took up enough space So that you noticed it everyday you never loved me you loved the way I made you see Yourself And on days you needed to love yourself You plucked a petal You gathered them in a glass box But when the glass was full It broke And when there was nothing left But an ugly stem-- You never plucked again

Petals
I see now that you never loved me Even now I think You try to believe you still can one day-- Love me But my love for you was like a flower Several little petals The kind that If the wind blew, Would float away It wasn't the kind of flower you usually shopped for But it was beautiful enough So you put the flower on display One that took up enough space So that you noticed it everyday you never loved me you loved the way I made you see Yourself And on days you needed to love yourself You plucked a petal You gathered them in a glass box But when the glass was full It broke And when there was nothing left But an ugly stem-- You never plucked again
