My head down I do not see around to compare my lawn with yours. Constantly on knees priming the earth. Yellow stains form patches to overtake the green Dig, Pat, water, snip Yet to take a peak across the street Pick weeds and plant seeds for regrowth Flowers dance when the sun sings Thorns scheme mow, pat, water, snip the wind carries the fragrance of her lillie’s Feet nestled, grass soft in between toes season change, leaves fall the trees are bare rake, rake, snip, water Birds chirp, gray skies and the water over flow Drowning are the seeds deeply rooted the wind carries the fragrance of wood burning and marshmallows Guitars, song, beer, joy Off of my knees, eyes wide I glare at what we have built. My grass is natural...it’s real.. It’s perfect I turn left then right shocked at the site.. All was artificial

Watered Grass
I thought you’d always be by my side Never thought I’d see the day I’d see my life was built on lies, See the foundations fall away And though you’ve left me so distraught In pieces on the floor I hope you’ve found what you had sought And you won’t run no more It’s so much easier to deal with all the anger I feel I’m fine being callous and cold But when you’re hurt & upset you can’t forgive or forget Stuck in an emotional black hole There roses are red, and violets blue, Yellow buttercups and daffodils too But how long will it take you to realise, That the grass ain’t greener on the other side I thought you’d always be by my side Will justice never prevail? Will I be forced to live out my life Forever with this betrayal? And though you’ve not exactly caught The best hand of the game I hope the joy it may have brought Is worth the price you’ve paid It’s so much easier to deal with all the anger I feel I’m fine being callous and cold But when you’re hurt & upset you can’t forgive or forget Stuck in an emotional black hole There roses are red, and violets blue, Yellow buttercups and daffodils too But how long will it take you to realise, That the grass ain’t greener on the other side Copyright © 2012-2017 KF
