Patchwork [Poetry]

why?

you told me the stars don't shine enough

and called my naming each constellation a waste of time

you said the flowers i loved so much will die soon

anyway so what's the point of collecting them?

(throw them away, you said, and i did)

i believed you because all i wanted

was to see the world through your eyes

(little did i know you only wanted to destroy mine)

-why?
