You want to know a secret?

I hate when someone buys me flowers.

Why?
If they have no problem picking such a beautiful thing,
Knowing of all the gentle care that's gotten it this far in its growth and beauty-
I can't help but see the irony.

I can't help but foreshadow the sickly, awakening events that they will pluck with such ease from me.
