Plant after plant have all withered
And my gardens decayed,
But you walked by with a watering can
and set my heart ablaze

The things you’ve said in public were nothing but sweet,
This makes me glad we got to meet.

No words come to mind
when staring at your face,
After all a picture paints a
thousand words that cannot erase

Tables have been turned,
And i’m left feeling burned.

The way you said my name
sent shivers down my spine,
You could be anything and
yet you wouldn't be mine.

I wish to say that I haven’t missed you,
But it’d be a terrible crime to lie too.

When it comes to you
all ideas are dangerous,
And the two of us together,
Was nothing but disastrous.

From the moment we started,
I knew you were going to be cold hearted.

While your smile shines as bright as the sun
Not everyone wants to be blind,
This was a contract
That neither one of us wanted signed.

The things you’ve said in private were nothing sweet,
This makes me glad we never truly got to meet.
Had an assignment to write a genuine love poem but I guess not all love is happy?
