do you ever see
how I plant my roses around you
do you notice
i sing under my breath
of skies and hearts
when you are around
do you watch
how I breathe so quietly
and with timid lungs
when you inhale
do you feel
the tremble of my hands
like a glass doll
how I see you so fragile
how I handle your heart
with flowers and warmth
and words, all soft
do you care
for you,
i live a little less
i give up my sun
