gratitude

thank you

for being my friend
all these
years.

thank you

for letting me lean
on your shoulder
to cry on.

thank you

for singing to me
when i couldn't fall
asleep.

thank you

for giving me hugs
when i was
feeling down.

thank you

for those pretty
sunflowers
you gave me
every time the earth
spun around once.

but now

i have no friend.
i have no shoulder to cry on.
i have no one to sing to me.
i have no one to hug.
i have no more sunflowers.

instead i have

a broken heart.
a ripped apart pillow.
screams instead of songs.
loneliness.
and dried up leaves
on the floor of my
forever dark
bedroom.

thank you

for leaving me
to cry
and scream

those flowers were
my favorites.
you knew i loved sunflowers.
but
you didnt know if you
loved me.

so you
threw me
into the
darkness
like dried up leaves.

thank you.
