Oh, young sunflower! facing east towards the Sun. You follow her for hours, till dusk when day's done. Her light shines bright; colors -- vivid and deep. But when her light ebbs do you droop and weep?
Every summer afternoon I sit in my porch, And admire the most exquisite view, Sun rays embracing the sunflowers, Loving them in a way no one ever cares to do.
I bought sunflower seeds and planted them in a little *** on my window sill I watered and tended to the leaves everyday Every time the leaves seemed sick or browning I had to hold back tears as I cut away the rot Is it weak or dumb of me that I cried? Like witchcraft I cared for that flower as if it were our love As the leaves would rot so too did our hearts As the petals fell so too did your love for me And in every falling petal Every cut leaf Every inch of that flower I felt you grow farther and farther out of reach from me
