The Flower
A smashed flower on a sidewalk
A broken, empty dream
Thinking about you brings back memories
A torn photograph
Rips in my old jeans
A haunted past
Broken harmonies
Never meant to last
So why do I still
Pick clovers
And dandelions
It's all over
For me it was just starting to begin
And that old crushed flower
Gets swept up by the wind
And our golden hour
Has come to an end
Once again I wish that I could see
Any hope,
Any sliver of belief
That flower blowing in the wind
I picked it up
And brought it close to my heart again
I placed it in a book
Where its beauty ever shows
And my love for you ever,
Ever grows
If this flower can survive where it's not safe and warm
We'll be alright
Standing in our storm
