Petals

I've often wondered if there'sEver been a perfect familyI've always longed for undividednessAnd sought stabilityA flower taught me how to prayBut as I grew that flower changedShe started flailing in the windLike golden petals scatteringAnd I miss you dandelionAnd even love youAnd I wish there was a wayFor me to trust youBut it hurts me everytimeI try to touch youBut I miss you dandelionAnd even love youI gravitated towards a patriarchSo young predictablyI was resigned to spend my lifeWithin a maze of miseryA boy and a girl befriended meWe're bonded through despondencyI stayed so long but finallyI fled to save my sanityAnd I miss you little sis andLittle brotherAnd I hope you realizeI'll always love youAnd although you're strugglingYou will recoverAnd I miss you little sis andLittle brotherSo many I consideredClosest to meTurned on a dime and sold meOut dutifullyAlthough that knife was chipping away at meThey turned their eyes away andWent home to sleepAnd I missed a lot of lifeBut I'll recoverThough I know you really likeTo see me sufferStill I wish that you and I'dForgive each other'Cause I miss you, ValentineAnd really loved youI really loved you-I tried so hardBut you drove me awayTo preserve my sanity-And I found the strengthTo break awayFly...
