Sunflower
Tearing through the flesh, I can see my bones
Walking through the graveyard, past all the stones
I can see the sunflower sat by my grave
I was too broken for anyone to save
Peeling off my skin, peeking underneath
Poking out my eyes, ripping out my teeth
Snapping every petal off to devour
No one will ever miss this little sunflower
Ignoring the tears that are flowing down my cheeks
Pretending you don't care while hearing all my shrieks
Watching as the blood drips down to my feet
All the time that I lived feels bittersweet
All my torn up clothes remind me what I lost
Finally ended my life but at what cost?
