Just as mine was given completely to you,
You threw it in the *******,
Like it was tainted, spoiled;
As if you can just go out and get more,
But I am past closing time,
So do not catch your death
If I treat you so coldly,
But do not try and warm up to me either;
You sure do have a lot of gallI gave you chocolates,
When you wanted flowers,
To act so boldly.
A confused carpet of torn up invitations
And old mutilated photographs,
I gave you chocolates,
When you wanted flowers.
