Ripped Petals

You say I never think of you
but some mornings when the air is light i think of some of the best times
in my fragmented childhood
I was rusty
you made me shine
I loved you
thought we'd always be this way
so I walked in,slivered wrists
took my clothes off
it's all I could do
it was the only love I knew
sometimes I even forgive you (I wish)
I was a starry eyed girl
and you planted your seeds
everyone loves you not just me
so even if I never looked at you again it wouldn't matter
all those beautiful debs to chose from
should I feel special that you picked me?
you picked my stem off and ripped my petals
