When I first met you there was a garden growing in my mind,
But it was never beautiful.
Filled with thorns from the dead roses I had been given by someone I used to love,
My thoughts hurt me every day.
My head was bleeding on the inside,
The outside willing to collapse at any moment.
My tears watered the thorns,
Helping them to grow stronger, and sharper.
Then you came along one day,
And said hello.
My heart skipped a beat as I stared into your bright green eyes,
Admiring your sunkissed skin.
Freckles scattered across your nose,
reaching your softly blushed cheeks.
I bit my lip,
Saying hello back.
Now I know you,
That garden is no longer dangerous.
That garden that wanted to be beautiful,
Finally was.
You cleared the thorns,
And replaced them with daisies.
Now every time I close my eyes,
I don't have to fear myself.
not my best but I liked the idea.
