flowers

So what

am I trying to say?
     What are you trying to hear?

Is this group of words
       arranged
         just
          so

-like a bunch of flowers 
that you'll throw away in a week-

going to convince you
of my love?
Somehow
I don't think so.

But
if you plant the
words ripped from the
pages of my heart
and plant them as seeds
they will grow into flowers
everyone can see from the street,
down around the corner,
and half way around the world.

And
you won't be able to 
throw them away.
