Holding Absence
Marigold
We began just an orchid
You will bloom through the mud, kid
Timeless, we knew of no day and night
I blew away like notus
Fell asleep like a lotus
Our love divided, hiatus
I could never grow to hate us
Marigold, you'll never know
Marigold, you'll never know
I was up all hours
"You never bought me flowers"
To me, acacia ingrained
We grew farther as it rained
Marigold, you'll never know
Marigold, you'll never know
Now just a corpse, we carry on
We're nothing more than carrion
Years later, minutes feel like hours
As you wilt away, my wallflower
Marigold, you'll never know
Marigold
