Garden of Love Addiction

Cycle of seasons is complete,
Everyone is rushing home.
Some claimed success, I felt defeat
I never felt so alone.

I washed away the memories,
Left them with the tide on the beach
I circled around, looking to ground
Hoping to land back on my feet

Red roses, I love you
Tulips, I miss you,
Lilies, I want you

Every flower, a promise
Broken, not in bloom,
Need to find something new

Weekend brunches, our traditions
Driving fast and singing loud,
Smiling, laughing, yelling, screaming,
It all came just crashing down.

I was surprised, I didn't see
What unfolded in front of me
I kissed you hard, I held your hand
Letting go wasn't easy

Red roses, I love you

Tulips, I miss you,

Lilies, I want you

Every flower, a promise

Broken, not in bloom,

Need to find something new
