By the blooms of last spring
Did you fall in love with me
Your love was fast in blossoming
To all was plain to see
And though I kept it hidden
My petals were still shut
For to me love was forbidden
Bloodshed like a deep cut
Darling though I did not love
It is true that I did care
I was barely keeping myself above
Often struggling to breathe air
I knew that I was drowning
So I left you to your flowers
It would lessen my suffering
To the extent of my powers

Little was it known to me
That your blooms were dependent
Without me they could not be
They lacked my amendment
It is sad that all beauty fades
It will always make me frown
A garden grown over the decades
Had turned from green to brown
It was unkept and useless
Soon the whole thing died
As you would later confess
You had too, on the inside
You also fell prey to the waves
That had dragged me far below
And without my meagre saves
You were gone in the undertow
This is what I never wanted
But it happened just the same
This is one wish I was granted
That I wish had never came
