Tongue to Teeth

Feeling Whole; Tuesday Night

You were a garden I didn’t tend to 
Then wondered why all the pumpkins had rotten
You were a field that I didn’t water
The cotton had wilted instead of grown taller 

And when I was angry I stomped on your flowers
Sobbed at the site of crushed petals
When I was angry stepped on your vines
And let my muddy boots settle

You were puzzle that I couldn’t solve
And blamed you for my own confusion
You were a story that you tried to read me
And I blamed you for the intrusion 

And when I was angry I stomped on your flowers
Sobbed at the sight of crushed petals
When I was angry I stepped on your vines
And let my muddy boots settle 

Do you know
I kept all the seeds
In a pouch in a box under my bed
So you know
I dream of all the things that I wish that I had done or never said 
Do you know
I kept all the seeds
In a pouch in a box under my bed
So you know
I still have love for you
Though your harvest now keeps someone else fed

You were a garden that I didn’t tend to 
Then wondered why all my pumpkins had rotten
You were a field that I didn’t water 
the cotton had wilted instead of grown taller

And when I was angry I stomped on your flowers
Sobbed at the sight of crushed petals
When I was angry I stepped on your vines
 let my muddy boots settle

You were a comfort
I didn’t deserve 
squandered the best that you gave 
You were a home to my wayfarer spirit
But it’s locked and abandoned and we can’t go near it 

(All because) 
You were a garden that I didn’t tend to
