picked you up, sent you off,

a wish, my only thought.

flowers like you everywhere,

i blew the ones i caught.

 

frail seeds of fantasy,

gliding through the sky.

in hopes that some where and how,

someone would comply.

 

years after, now, it hurts,

aching for a wish.

fields are marred by broken dreams,

trampled, torn, and squished.

 

so as i watch you float

to this renowned heaven,

i feel you breaking, shaking

my ever-flaking presence.

 

and finally i realized

about you, dandelion.

you just kept on flyin,

while i trusted you were tryin.

 

you liar, my desire,

you promised me bliss.

just so i would set you free,

feel your butterfly kiss.

 

you’re a dent de lion,

a keen lion’s tooth.

our covenant was fake, now

please give me back my truth.
