I brought you to the secret garden Where I acquire inner peace Where I am finally myself And can escape from everything
I trusted you enough To reveal that I am weak That I made myself a garden To distract me from my feelings
But after walking through my meadows And now realizing I was free You became overtaken in darkness And began chopping down my trees
You destroyed everything I made Until there was nothing left for me You corrupted all my plants And transformed them into weeds
I still marvel at the hopelessness That you brought up onto me And I regret in having trust That you would offer some relief
To accept that I'm only human And can sometimes fail at things But I suppose it is a stretch To assume you're not a freak
I mean after everything between us I do not expect an apology Cause in the grand scheme of things We allowed our forests of solace to freeze
Together.
After hearing 'I Told You Things' by Gracie Abrams, I imagined this scene of a secret garden being randomly attacked and ruined by the one person you trusted to keep it secret.
