Dandelions, Weeds, & Broken Leaves
You visit me,
Once in a blue moon.
I find you in unexpected cracks
And unwanted crevices
Yet you still greet me
With a broken heart,
With a broken soul.
The dead leaves
Scratch at
My broken heart,
The dandelions give me
Little parachutes
To make little wishes
For my little life,
And the weeds
Let me drop onto my
Tired knees
And watch
The wind thrash
And crash
On your tired stalks.
You are unloved
You are unwanted
You are broken.
Yet, you continue
To visit me
Once in a blue moon,
And I continue to marvel at your broken soul.
You are forgotten.
You are found in the unwanted cracks
Of cold concrete
But I take care of you
Because you are
Unloved
Unwanted
And broken.
And I love the
Unloved
Unwanted
And broken.
Because I am
A forgotten piece
Of the puzzle,
That connects the
Broken, unwanted
Meaningless things
Together.
