I Gave You My Heart In A Flower Pot

The door handle is getting dusty….

The metal is getting rusty…. 

Starving to death from lack of attention. 

There was one last thing I forgot to mention.

I gave you my heart in a flower pot. 

Told you to water it or else it would rot. 

Said to keep it in the sun just to feel the warm.

With a little love it would transform. 

But the pot is not blooming cause its dried to a crisp. 

No water was given so it turned to a wisp.

The dirt turned my poor innocent heart cold

Cause no heat was provided as you were once told.

My hearts lies neglect in that dusty old pot. 

That pot you so easily about forgot. 

It can never be bloomed to the full flower love,

Because you gave my gift a shove. 

You'll find this old flowerless pot one sad day,

And remember the neglect that you threw my way.

You will pour too much water to make up for the past, 

And realize its dead, you were surly miscast. 

Guilt and reality soon set in. 

My cinderella carriage was just a pumpkin.

I gave you my heart in a flower pot. 

......

I didn't think you would just let it rot.

This is very very beautiful; I've never read anything quite like it. One thing: in the line that talks about "and remember the neglect that..." is my supposed to be me? Other than that, I quite like this and I think I'll put it in my library! (PS: don't worry about posting your work without editing it. That's what us reviewers are here for. Besides, unless your writing is such a grammatical mess that no one can read it, no one's gonna mind much if there's a spelling problem or too.) Anyway, good job!
