marigolds

no matter how loud i cry

you won’t look back.

no matter how much i beg

you won’t even spare me a glance.

remember how we met?

when we were young?

didn’t know what the world had in store for us.

we were close weren’t we.

i should have known when i saw that yellow tint in your words.

but i turned my head

not once doubting you.

but you had no problem

with stomping through the field

of rainbow petals,

crushing without caring.

but i cared.

i watched as you destroyed my garden.

the one i blocked up with tall stone walls.

the one you broke the walls down to enter.

i watched you

only able to just watch

as you left nothing.

even now i can’t blame you.

but the feeling remains.

marigolds were always your favorite flower.
