Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Here we go

The calm before the storm
Always as predicted
The stillness was reassuring
But I should have known

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
I should have known
That as I opened my petals
Into the sunlight
Exposing my colours
My scent
That the storm would hit
Right as I started to grow

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Dark clouds are rolling in
Thunder is shaking my stem
And just as I am about to close my petals
You strike me with 1000 bolts
Again and again
Turns me black
But this time
I don't think I will grow back.
She is the answer to all my problems
The creation of all my happiness
She’s the love inside my heart
and my reason for waking
She’s like a rainbow--
Everything is more colorful when she’s near.

She’s a wildflower in a field of weeds,
A burst of color in a dreary world.
She’s a clear spring day,
Warming my heart and filling me with joy.
Her voice like the gentle breeze,
Music to my ear--
She’s my favorite song.

He’s a stain on an expensive rug,
One you can’t get out.
He’s a flea to a dog,
One that won’t go away.
He’s a minor note in her song.
A note that only preaches hate.
He’s like a virus--
Only doing harm

I lift her up to the heavens
He drags her down to hell
I’m a ray of sunshine
While he’s a nimbus cloud
I could confess how I feel
but in the end--
He’s the one she loves.

— The End —
