Daisy


I put a daisy on your doorstep

I know you dont know it was me. 

Maybe you thought that it was beautiful,

Maybe you didnt see.

I found it in a field of roses

An understated perfection

and I thought of you,

Like I always do

Someday I'll learn my lesson.

I know I ended its life to make you smile

I know you wouldnt approve

but with every broken beat of my heart

I die a little, too.

It was barely even visible

Overlooked by roses it'll bever reach-

On second thought maybe

You're not the daisy

I'm the one who will never be seen.

I put a daisy on your doorstep

But now I know you didn't notice

Because who would choose a daisy

In a field of roses..
