It's said and done
You're long gone
But in my heart, my sunflowers still turn to you
But in my eyes, I see no one,
but you;
My only sunshine.

Now I'm only a foreigner in your past,
A surface leveled love that was always bound to never last.
A jealous stranger I've become,
Of another woman strolling through the roses and daffodils I planted;
The love I granted
When your shattered self enchanted,
My broken mind and my frozen heart.
Like unsure rays of sunshine,
You flickered through my heart,
The ice shards thawing out,
That was it!
My sunflowers were sprouting!

My heart was pulsating,
After the ever the cold had engulfed it for.
Dressed in heavy unsteady beats;
My heart was revived,
My heart was ready to thrive,
On the warmth your rays lay.
My wintered veins glistened in the crack of your sunlight,
But I was full of fright,
"Is this the day I've long awaited after the endless night?!"

Simultaneously overwhelmed,
My flowers were dancing in your sunshine.
My broken mind dazzled at the sight of the light slowing overtaking the darkness,
As the light caressed,
This withered carcass,
Buried within my not-so-cold being.
Happiness became a word with meaning...

I wished for us to never part,
For me to never see the dark.
But here I am wishing in the dark for light,
And my sunflowers have become blind.
They turn to you but there's no you,
Only the perplexing dark hue,
Of the same cold night.
Was listening to johnny cash's "you are my sunshine" and got inspired.
