Be my Tulips

To .y o u r. liking

You whittled my heart
And then proceeded to use your hands to carve my body

Was I not to your liking

Was my heart too big
Was my body not skinny enough
Was it because I loved more than just you
Was it because I was satisfied with the way I looked

Am I not to your liking

Am I how I look
Or who and what I love
Am I just a trophy for you
Am I even a person to you

Is me being so individual not to your liking

Is everything I enjoy going to make you think of me as less
Is wearing pretty clothes going to make you regret me
Is loving you going to make you hate me
Is standing up to you going to make you hurt me

It's too much to be to your liking anymore, its painful.
