In My Dreams

I was the flower
swaying in the breeze
oh, thats your crying
the wind was your sneeze

your tears were the rain
that watered my root
when you were sad
i offered my fruit

i reached up to comfort
my leaf was the arm
i tired to hold you
protect you from harm

but i was the flower
leaves couldn't shield shame
my dirt could not
secure you from pain

and i was the flower
wallowed in your tears
consumed by the rain
that came with your fears

and i am the flower
I'll be there when you cry
I'll be there when you go
to take off and fly
