i grow a garden
in a heart that never grows.
i grow a love
in a heart he'll never know.
i reap a field
within an empty place.
i reap the tears
from a silent, sullen face.
i pull the weeds
digging in the dirt.
i pull my fears
until it only hurts.
i tend the garden
in a place he'll never know
i tend the garden
where love was not to grow.
