Petals

I`ve often wondered if there`s Ever been a perfect family I`ve always longed for undividedness And sought stability A flower taught me how to pray But, as I grew, that flower changed She started flailing in the wind Like golden petals scattering (Chorus 1:) And I miss you, dandelion And even love you And I wish there was a way For me to trust you But it hurts me every time I try to touch you But I miss you, dandelion And even love you I gravitated towards a patriarch So young--predictably I was resigned to spend my life With a maze of misery A boy and a girl befriended me We`re bonded through despondency I stayed so young; but, finally I fled to save my sanity (Chorus 2:) And I miss you, little sis and Little brother And I hope you realize I`ll always love you And, although you`re struggling You will recover And I miss you, little sis and Little brother So many I considered Closest to me Turned on a dime and sold me Out dutifully Although that knife was chipping Away at me They turned their eyes away and Went home to sleep... (Chorus 3:) And I missed a lot of life But I`ll recover Though I know you really like To see me suffer Still, I wish that you and I`d Forgive each other `Cause I miss you, Valentine And really loved you I really loved you I tried so hard But you drove me away To preserve my sanity And I found the strength To break away Fly...
