A Dozen Sunflowers

I left a dozen sunflowers on your doorstep today

I know you won't see them but it's better this way

They've kept you away, locked in a tower

I only wish I had the power

To save you

You cross my mind a lot

I hope whoever, wherever you are

You can feel my thoughts, my sadness, my love

I left a dozen sunflowers on your doorstep today

I figured they'd be thrown, but it's better this way

This is the only thing I can do

I don't want to lose

You

Nothing is the same without you here

The days are duller, the nights darker

The moon has lost it's shine

The stars no longer twinkle

I left a dozen sunflowers on your doorstep today

I don't know why I continue, but it's better this way

You won't see them, smell them, or feel their grace

Because it turns out...

I should have left them on your grave
