They Brought Me Flowers

They sit beside me
In a sawn off bottle of plastic
Filling the room
A few small flowers
They look like everything
Undelivered
Finally there
They had been uprooted
Now kept me company
From love
With love

They brought me flowers
Pennies of love
Bought them for me
Unfathomably
Always I miss those petals
Now they are near
God, I love that one
Couldn't imagine such eyes
Or other walls

We tick with time
Musical passion
Songs and hurt and gongs
We are leaving here today
Tomorrow we shall see
She brought me flowers
For the road
For our journey
Darling
We never need look back
