Remember when I saw you?

I was walking through a garden,

Your smell and beauty attracted me,

It soothed my soul,

So I picked you up and planted you in my front lawn,

You were my most prized possession,

I loved you so much.

But remember when you gave me those glasses?

You know, the ones with the funny color?

I put on the glasses,

I remembered how I thought my sight was better,

How I thought you helped me see you better,

You loved me so much.

Then I tried to hold you,

But when I did you spat words that pierced like thorns,

You missed my heart and hit my soul,

Oh, how I suffered that day!

I wonder what happened to you,
