[i would rather give you flowers]
By Marquavious Moore
flowers are
perfect[i know you’d love them] and when
you decide to love something else
i can just buy more flowers
flowers are easy[i only want your smile]
flowers are
convenient, when you get bored with them,
throw’em away[ignore them, forget them]
curse them when the petals start to fall and
the fruit flies have taken over your life
flowers are
cute for the moment[then they’re not]
you love them for a moment[then you
don’t] unlike our love i expect them
to die
[i would rather give you flowers] because
i can’t trust you with my heart
after all
you couldn’t even
take care of my flowers
Check it out on YouTube!!
'[i would rather give u flowers]' started as a writing exercise. I was trying to push myself to embody a more Cummings-esque style of writing.
Love is weird. I hope you enjoy!
