A brittle little flower
You look so pretty
So I picked you
Picked you up off of the ground
The roses on the floor
I hung them up and then
I taped them to the wall
Looks like a painting that I had seen before
Brittle little flower
You look so pretty
So I picked you
Picked you up off of the ground
And I’ll miss you
Your tender structure
Soft, elusive, fragile thing
You really are
Bitter looking petals
Crumble to the touch
Fickle
Thoughts sporadic
It takes me back
Brittle little flower
You look so pretty
So I picked you
Picked you up off of the ground
And I’ll miss you
Your tender structure
Soft, elusive, fragile thing
You really are
