Dried Flowers
Change is in the air
Can’t stay here for long
Paralyzed in a stare
In this place I don’t belong
I dreamt up this place
Hope carried by a breeze
Doubts I never faced
Petals falling from the trees
And I don’t mean to be misleading
But there’s a fire inside I can’t explain
Maybe ‘cause it never got that deep
There’s much you missed before you came
I don’t care who understands me
It’s a waste of breath I’ve learned
It’s exhausting to sleep peacefully
When you’re just waiting to get burned
But these dried flowers were not in vain
When we stripped them from their roots
How do we expect them not to change
Thinking tomorrow is so absolute?
So I patched these wings with
Sugar coated promises of later
The most thoughtless gift
From your sweetest traitor
Take the change and try to fly
There’s so much just out of reach
Might as well enjoy the ride
As we’re carried by the breeze
Love Always,
Lainey
