Dead Weeds
July 6, 2018
It started with the bubbles
that never appeared to pop,
plastered smiles, empty eyes,
and not a single teardrop.
The puzzle fit together perfectly,
displayed for all to see,
a picture painted beautifully,
the only thing missing:me.
I allowed myself to keep driving
down that one-way street,
fond memories in the rearview mirror
and radio silence on repeat.
I used to till our garden,
planting all the seeds.
Only now do I know better
than to be watering dead weeds.
