the smell of a rose I've never known
doesn't that sound romantic
but I've truly never smelt such a flower
so it's daisies I'll compare you to
a chain of happiness
(that I've failed to make)
wrapped around my head
like a halo of corpses
but I don't point that out
I don't want to upset you
that's why I'm not totally honest
I suppose it's not a lie either
none truths just make me feel guilty
upset that I can't be straight with you
so on the next special occasion
I'll hide my feelings with a bouquet
tie a bow around flowers that say:
"I think you're pretty great"
