Violets

I want to give you violets
And weave clovers in your hair
I’d like to watch a sunrise
So you wouldn’t see me stare
I could be your Sappho
We could jump into the sea
I would live life as a mermaid
And you’d be there to comfort me
I know you don’t remember
Or are you trying to forget?
I let the moment pass
Hope it’s not something I regret
I dye my hair instead
A living, breathing flower
I sit and sigh and listen
And your voice soothes me for hours
