My Dandelion

She is like a dandelion on the edge of a cliff

Next to the sea.

The wind-encouraged rapture brings her to her knees as she’s taken

From the rocks into the deadly blue sea.

(She is stronger than she thinks,

I know, that’s why she left me.)

 

Before the endpoint, the gusting breeze

Meets its end,

So the dandelion plummets into the sandy beach instead.

(No matter what brings her down, she shall always stand up.

It’s the way she is; the dandelion is tough.)

 

So comfortable now, her stem is stuck

In this thick warm surface,

The tide seems to be interested in this dandelion’s purpose.

(I tried to **** her into me with my love.

She didn’t give me a chance because

I wasn’t enough.)

 

The tide erupts upon the scene within the lively flower’s green,

And yanks it from the sand to bring her colors to the sea.

(He stole her from me,

she accepted his hand

There was no chance for me)

To the ocean, the flower seemed different from the others;

The dandelion seemed to be tougher.

She has always been strong, my little dandelion,

Even from day one,

(But like I said, I wasn’t good enough)

Nothing could destroy her pride, nothing could be done.

(She told me nothing of her

feelings and left my concerns in the dark)

She brought her roots down within the oceans depths,

And ****** the sea dry until there was nothing left.

And then came the rain.

(She left the door open on the way out,

I was so shattered,

I couldn’t even cry.)
