Flowers

by Lauren Nathanson - Not entered

So torn,
So confused,
Neglected feelings
And broken hearts

I am an icicle
an icicle of heartache, so cold
growing larger everyday
as the waters of the world drip down my very existance

I am also a flower
A flower that the gardener neglected to water
Then a girl, a tender girl, finds me
She waters my dying soul
I bloom
I prosper
I begin to think that I might survive
Then I die
For all flowers, watered or neglected,
Die sometime.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem after someone I loved broke my heart.( We are back together)
Sometimes we feel that we cannot ever be on top, that we are always one step behind and one 
dollar short. That was how I was feeling when I wrote this poem. I would appreciate
any poems or comments, feel free to E-mail me.
