My Flower Love

I blink as I stare into your brown eyes, Sifting through your features to find flowers - I find a bright flower that never dies And I could watch it grow in peace for hours. What will I sacrifice to see this bloom Into the warm love that I so desire? I will face the inescapable doom - You will stand anxiously as I catch fire. You dispute, cry and protest as we speak But for your love I will embrace the flame, I will take in the pain and wither weak Because I know that you would do the same. You caress my face with your soft petals And for this hopeful life I will settle.
