Tulip

My tulip grew in dirt

I hadn't turned over yet.

I did the best I could.

I should have fed it less

but I needed it to grow.

One of my flowers will bloom.

If it needs me to cut open and give it my everything,

then I'll do that.

My tulip grew litte.

It shrunk away from me.

Yet provide I did.

I cut and cut

and cut again.

I drowned it in my love.

But tulips don't grow in blood.

I guess I don't want what does.
