The flowers

The roses are wilted
The violets are gone

The daisies cry as I type out this song
The orchids wither knowing it's all wrong

The sunflowers are dead
The peonies left me with a blinding pain in my head

Bluebonnets, so sacred and rare, left me broken, on a dare.
The corpse flower's stench warns you to beware

The poinsettias all die.
As the buttercups leave me, I wonder if my life is just a lie.

With all of these flowers, tulips and lilies are the flowers with thorns.
They left me empty, forsaken and forlorn.
