how heavy is your heart today?
the same weight of a dozen gardens
FOURTEEN.
gardens not flowers.
i was compared to
sunflowers,
daises,
tulips,
roses,
and
marigolds.
you know the usual
wildflowers,
lilacs
and lavenders,
and a chrysanthemum
with blushed colors.
they all told me i was a flower.
fully bloomed and delicate.
but he described me as a garden.
a mixture of the ivys, and vines and
overgrown shrubberies that
no one dared to give a second glance
to
with wilting petals,
sprouting buds
and blooming flowers.
he saw the good and the bad.
and loved me despite
because a lover should always love
your garden
and not just your flowers.
