the girl i fell in love with

She was tired,

bleary-eyed,

I told myself,

and with no other ally.


And I fell in love at first sight,

with her love for pie,

and the way she sighed,

I tied myself to her,

with the promise of never letting go.


And so, empires of flowers grew

around her,

the sound of a bird drowning

in the distance.


And when her wings bloomed,

she sprouted and left me without 

a single tear.
