Deals

by Koyaanisquatsi...Virgo - Not entered

The path he chose
Was to stomp on a rose
And crush its petals into the ground
The rose had been a gift
The foot he did lift
And alas only soil was found.

An agreement was made
And over time it did fade
As all things must come to an end
He tried to hide it 
And doesn't think we'll survive it
But all wounds will eventually mend.

One sweet request made not to scale 
By he who believes the bond to fail
The lifelong test
Filtering out the pain
Our outlook we must change
And repair our broken nest.

Just a little more time
For these thoughts of mine
And I'll come up with a deal
Looking for something new
I want to change my point of view
It will take awhile to heal.
