Gardens of Love

You are my orchid,
Big, beautiful and rare
My desired

All you do is hurt me and give me degradation
My love is big enough for both of us
Yet you are too big for my love?

I am drawn to you, as a moth to fire
Only to get burned when I get too close
You are my light, yet I envy you all the same

Dont you remember me?
I am that girl who is always waiting for you
Staring at you with eyes full of intent
Watching you fall for other girls
Like the falling leaves in Autumn

Countless journeys we have taken together
Sailing on the pristine waters,
Kissing underneath boats
Memories stir within me
as I watch your sails blow towards my lonely abode

We have grown up together,
Catching butterflies in your worn-down net
While catching colds to go with them
Rolling down grassy, soft, hills, hand in hand
Fighting off storms with our love as our protection
Jumping as high as we can, so we did not have to fall back down
Running carelessly, just like we were living?

Were meant to be together
Like flowers and bees,
We both get something in return from what we take
Sometimes you take too much and I die,
Only to grow back from the seed you plant in my place

I will love you until you tell me not to
Like a gardener loves her flowers
I will tend to your roots
Replant you
Feed you
Water you
Until you die in my old gloved hand
