Petals

I've often wondered if there's ever been a pefect family
I've always longed for undividedness and sought stability
A flower taught me how to pray but as I grew that flower changed
She started flailing in the wind like golden petals scattering

And I miss you dandelion
and even love you
And I wish there was a way
for me to trust you
but it hurts me every time
I try to touch you
But I miss you dandelion
and even love you

I gravitated towards a patriarch so young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life within a maze of misery
A boy and girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally I fled to save my sanity

And I miss you little sis
and little brother
And I hope you realize
I'll always love you
And although you're struggling
you will recover
And I miss you little sis
and little brother

So many I considered closest to me
turned on a dime and sold me out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping away at me
they turned their eyes away and went home to sleep

And I missed a lot of life
but I'll recover
Though I know you really like
to see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
forgive each other
'Cause I miss you Valentine
and really loved you

I really loved you
I tried so hard
but you drove me away
To preserve my sanity
I found the strength to break away
Fly...
