Buttercup

Remember when each snowflake matched?
Each pair of shoes? Each dot and dash?
They came for me
Took my right brain
To them I leave sincere complaints

But to my Buttercup
I leave the other stuff
Just remember that your left brain is enough

Meticulous
You are so
A buttercup to brighten every broken buttonhole
Meticulous
You are so
A fingertip to darken every mitten in the snow

Careful planning carefully mismanaged
To Buttercup I leave my soul

The mockingbirds mock me today
They grind their teeth as if to say
"Huff as you puff
Meticulous
Your science will not be enough"

Being of a sound mind
I leave this world behind
And to Buttercup I leave my winking eye

Meticulous
Your are so
A handkerchief to soften every winter wonder blow
Meticulous
You are so
A buttercup to leave my handkerchief to when I go

Careful planning carefully mismanaged
To Buttercup I leave my soul
To Buttercup my very soul

Undone unglued
A plan in ruin
My favorite hemisphere removed
What's left of me my Buttercup
You won't remember any of

To Buttercup I leave my soul
Oh Buttercup, my very soul
