sunflowers

give it all and watch it grow
don't be mad because you thought you planted roses
and they grew to be sunflowers
don't lose focus

so it goes
it wasn't meant to be
that it happened at all
even the watching it fall
was the true journey
the true story of you and me

truly perfection
standing still in imperfect
rotate around one last time from this angle
looked good on you
but now i'm unknotting this tangle

figuring it out
rearranging my pout
finding that smile
tucking in that pain
so i can walk this next mile

almond eyes said enter the hurt
out of inspiration loyal stated
enter the heart
but she also said
'stay where you are so she can keep breathing'
and breathing i do
yes breathing it true
