Track:
In a Sentimental Mood

Lilac Turned Ugly

lilac turning to a dull blade
the flower is dying now
I was certain I planted it in fuzzy soil
brown gritty and ready
no pot just trusting in nature's way
but I stomped it with a boxcar named betty
destroying some
thing
that could never hurt me yesterday tomorrow or today

mistrust is left without the friendship of content
who knew
it even snows whilst killing flowers
in the ides of may


Authors Note: ever hurt someone you love more than once?
