We sit and watch like sunflowers,
following and praising one person’s move.
Smiling at high noon,
we reach perfection.
Sunlit eyes blurs our vision,
of what is truly right.
The end of the day, the person strays,
leaving a wilting flower,
left alone with no path or plan.
Apollo rides, drowsy dawn follows,
a sunflower has found it’s life.
Praising the sun, its only life-giver,
only to be left again.

I cannot stand seeing people live life for only one person or something. Life is not lived that way, but live life for oneself and keep people around every once in a while.
