To the man who crushed the soul of a flower
This is to you
The man who crushed the blossom of a flower
Who took the seed of a believer and put it in the ground of sorrow and pain
The man who made her believe pain was distant
This is to you a coward standing in the dirt
Pulling her seed out of the ground like a weed
Someone who gave her water to grow only to pluck the peddles off of her
Eyes bluer than water used to grow the seed
Hair so dark, the dirt was envious
Skin soft enough to hold the peddles of her heart
This is to you
A man cold enough to make winter blush
A man dark enough to keep the light away
Someone who turned the trees green only to pull the leaves off
Pulling the root of the flower like one pulls on the string of the heart
The flower in turn died due to lack of nutrition
Like one does due to lack of attention
This ones for you
The man coward enough to pull the peddles and leave the steam weak and frail
This is for you
