Dear Flower Man,
The petals have
all fallen
like rotten apples
from a tree
The flame in
my heart
has gone out
like a candle
in the wind
The blood
in my veins
runs cold
like a spring
running over
the ground
The ice clings
to the wires
outside,
and the power
has gone out
You are
a needle,
and I am
a pin cushion
You are
hurting me
It is time for us
to part our
separate ways
like the waves
upon the sand
So don't send me
flowers anymore
because I won't
embrace them
Don't dial my
number anymore
because I won't
pick up
Don't come by
my house
anymore
because I
won't answer
I am leaving you
for good
this time
The hourglass
is now empty
