You became a fantasy You planted a seed that bloomed into a flower It grew tall and colorful Oh it was wonderful But like the busy man You had other deeds to tend to Your first rose grew thorns and pricked you So now some other tends to it not knowing of the pain it shall bring While your second rose you neglect It longs for your tending love And you believe it to be strong on its own But in reality it gets weaker as the days pass You leave it in the care of no one When the petals fall and it's leaves begin to wilt You pay no mind You see the weeds begin to choke its roots but instead of tending to it You leave it be The flower holds on for dear life hoping one day, maybe one day, the tender man will tend to its needs...
