Not a flower girl

by @zoulaikha-al-aghbari

I've never gotten flowers, not much to say In love once, still can't beg to stay I've never gotten flowers, but oh.. to dream of lilies How the return of happiness will ever feel? "Hold onto your baby breaths," They never given me any All I ever wanted was a tulip The same way my father use to gift my mother Smiling while I hide behind him excitingly Dreaming of  my once upon a dream as snowdrops grow Sunflowers, how beautiful they could be Joyfully restoring oxygen into my lungs You never knew cause roses are the trend Honestly, you never asked Left, right you're gone Not a rose in graved, they're all out of sight Its alright I'll get gladiolus Swimming in the lilies valley one day Memory, Not a Flower girl By:Zoulaikha

Notes

writing this was something I felt like it needs to be heard. I also played around with the meaning of each type of flower..

Lilly: purity, heavenly, happy, wealth, pride.."but oh.. to dream of lilies

How the return of happiness will ever feel?"

Baby breaths: everlasting love... ""hold on to your baby breaths" They never given me any"

Tulips represent respect, sunshine in your smile, passion..."The same way my father use to gift my mother"

Snowdrops: new beginnings, hope, rebirth and the ability to overcome challenges..."Dreaming of my once upon a dream as snowdrops grow."

Sunflowers: long lasting happiness.."Sunflowers, how beautiful they could be"

With roses I went with how common they are but even tho they mean I love you: "You never knew cause roses are the trend ,Honestly, you never asked, Left, right you're gone, Not a rose in graved, they're all out of sight"

Gladiolus: little sword as in strength ..."Its alright I'll get gladiolus"

Lilies valley: joy, love, sincerity, happiness and luck but also the lily of the valley contains compounds that affect the heart since it poisons...so if I win and gain my strength I may be at the end finding happiness at my last breath.."Swimming in the lilies valley one day"
