Secret Garden

These roots run deeper
Than we thought
I'm distraught
But not overwrought

Without a keeper
Now and then
The lichens grow
And stifle so my breaths

In my secret garden
Where time's my warden
And I can't come down
But I'd do anything
So I could hold a pardon

Everybody wants you to love
Unless they break up
Unless they break down

The sound of the crowd
Grows far too loud

I'm coming undone
Becoming someone's
Not easy
I'm uneasy

At times, I'm certain
That a drought
Or a bout of frost
Could kill my sprouts

But life's unburdened
By the woes, or the foes
Unfettered
By the weather's deaths

In my secret garden
Where time's my warden
And I can't come down
But I'd do anything
So I could hold a pardon
