A Hundred Flowers Poem by Kate Austin

</>I asked a hundred flowers and they all said you did
but in the scheme of things I'm really just a kid
if we were the last two people on earth, would you love me?
I wish you didn't but to my heart you have the key

there have been mysteries from the beginning of time
there are oceans to swim and mountains to climb
sure I could buy you a present but i'd rather just give you me
I wish that was enough, but these days, you'd never see

you're dazzled by pretty eyes and long blond hair
I wish I was better and I wish you'd care
it's really not easy, this hell i'm living
but in this world, who am i kidding?

you'll get this in the mail and you'll think it's weird
no, i'm not an old gnarled man with a down-to-here beard
I'm just a girl with a heart made to love
but for you, it's never really enough

other girls are great, but would they write a poem for you?
I don't want to admit it but the story of us could be ending soon
when I first met you i knew you were the one for me
and at night I dreamed that you were mine too

can't you see that I've loved you all along
and I'm just so tired of being strong
I'm sick of lying and trying to be proud
and I've never heard silence quite this loud!

don't leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out
I can't believe that in order to be heard I have to shout
I'm haunted by what could have been, what you leave behind
I love every part of you, you're truly one of a kind

I promised myself I'd never fall in love when it does not exist
I took a shot in the dark and guess what? it missed
how did I end up like this, clinging to nothing
I wish I was lying, straight up bluffing

take me on a walk and tell me the story of your life
that's cool, or just stab me in the heart with a knife
I understand, I know you want a happy ending too
but I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I love you.
