My roots


You fell in love with my flowers last June

And told me how beautiful they are

But you did not fall in love with my roots

All you saw was my exterior

But you never once looked to see me in depth

So when autumn rolled around

And the leaves fell from the ground

You finally saw me for who I am

And decided I just wasn’t for you
