The Garden of Life

I love you baby, and I know you don’t love as much as I love you

And that’s okay cuz at least you love a little

And a little is okay cuz at least it’s something right?

Fuck not, it isn’t! I put myself out there for you.

I want to hold you while you cry,

I want to be with you when the sun hits the earth,

I want to care for you, until my feeble hands can’t hold you any longer.

But I can’t, cuz you won’t let me.

You’re my beauty, you’re my flower, you’re my red rose,

And I’m just the stem, used to support you but nothing else.

And when someone comes along, they just cut me off, throw me to the ground, and admire your beauty.

I hurt people. I prick them with my thorns because of my jealousy,

And you don’t even acknowledge me, you just watch them bleed

While I just sit in the dirt, waiting for you to creep back to me.

You are my everything, and I am your anything,

I become what you want me to be, instead of blooming as my own flower,

So we can coexist peacefully.

Each and together, a beautiful part of the Garden of Life
