FLOWERS
I didn't give you flowers
I gave you a child instead
I tried to fertilize your soil
But when I found you
You were already dead
I tried to give you sunshine
You swallowed my light instead
That girl you made your wife
Turned to the darkness before she became a gem
I shoulda gave you flowers
When you were still my man
But you ****** upon my soil
And I wilted before our end
I shoulda gave you flowers
I gave you my heart instead
And now I place those flowers
Upon your shallow grave
I finally got my flowers
10 years after your death
It took your bones to fertilize my soil
So I can grow again
A poem about survivor guilt and self growth after the passing of my husband and the end of our toxic marriage
