The Dandelion Among the Roses

I see the things that they can’t see And hear the yes and the no’s and the maybes And the million hearts That you bury In your backyard I gave you mine Last week on a Monday Only to see it posted in the hallways Flyers flew around me Of the letters signed by my name Dear lover My heart has been torn two Separate When I try to regret You In all fairness You’re not the fairest The dandelion among the roses You hide among the bushes And dress in the petals Although the thorns prick you You stay They’ll one day choke you And I hope you’ll find a way To break from those chains Bondage is a fools friend But an enemy to the dreamer I wish for the endless garden To seek her To search for miles in the pastures To hear her laughter To smell the fragrance That teases my nose Of the little sweet dandelion rose. Signed, by my name
