A Stone

I built a throne from stones he threw,
And from my scars the flowers grew.

He'd say it helped but he'd be wrong,
Cause castles fall when time moves on.

I was the bird pushed out the nest,
Too soon to fly with little rest.

My little bird body was broken apart,
I rebuilt myself when life was dark.

The biggest thing he did for me,
Was crush me till I couldn't breath.

I owe him nothing, there's guilt in his bones,
And from now on, I throw the stones.
