Orchid

I looked at you just like an Orchid
Pink and vibrant full of life
When I sat you down and told you
How could I know it'd change my life?
I put that orchid on my body
Like you were every night
Next to you I'd lay there after
And contemplate between the lines

And how could I not know?
Just how far we'd ever go
A piece of you etched in my skin
Maybe I'll never have to see you again

And soon
The flowers became tethered
The pedals began to limp and fall
I tried to permeate with water
Only to see you drink it up

And how could I not know?
Just how far we'd ever go
A piece of you etched in my skin
Maybe I'll never have to see you again

Maybe you could wash my walls in velvet
Maybe you could hang your lunar crescent
In the same place that you left me
It's here that time stands still

And how could I not know?
Just how much fear's in truth
I look at you etched on my skin
I know that I'll never grow old with you
