I thought I was
Just this black flower
Painted red by those
Who adore me
I am needed
Only temporarily
But then I hear
mama who calls
me everyday
she is the best
By those who I keep
In my mind permanently
I am the light in their
Darkness
And they are the light
In mine
My door is open
But no longer
Somber from waiting
For somebody
To come in
occasionally
They come when
They please
They leave when they
Desire
Mama never fails
To love me everyday
I thought I was
Just something
Dazzling to your eyes
Because you painted me
Your favorite color
And picked me out of
A field of flowers
Then forgot me
And let me go
But mama
she never did
Oh no she didnt
When you found
Someone else
