Please Don’t Send Me Flowers
Your interpretation your format. 250 word MAX.
flowers mean nothing, i desire apologies & actions
petals pressed in enveloped sleeves, know, please
hearts need more than undug, rooted holes. don't
plant promises you can't uphold, try to send
hope in forms of light on fragmented souls; me--
i like how they sparkle like stained glass. flowers
grow then die at your fingers, just as men. please,
borrow and barter memories--don't
pluck delicacies, it wilts them to tragedy. send
bottled words tightened by actions; know me
as the lover who craves time. not, flowers.
