Forever Dandelion

A Poem by Shadow

A poem I whipped up out of the quote, "because they were roses and i was just a dandelion" I was thinking of making that line in a song... But a poem sounded more fitting. Enjoy.

She looked at me one day and said,
"I regret the day we met."
I look at her in return,
"But that was the day you wept.
But why are you talking nonsense
again?
We are supposed to be friends."
Then she said...

"Those pretty girls we see on tv
They mean so much to you...And to me...
Because they are all roses and i am just a dandelion
Something you want to run away from
something that isn't beautiful in the sense
something someone talks about in past pretense"

I laughed softly to her
but she threw me a glare in return
"Don't laugh at me anymore.
It's not funny.
No it's not..."
I ran my fingers through her hair
And tried to whisper all she wanted to hear.

"You are the shining star...
You are the envy of the sea,
Of the earth.
You walk in brilliance.
You may be the dandelion,
But you are the envy to all roses.
Every Rose wishes to be you.
And every poor b*****d wish to stay true,
As you do."

She stared at me in disbelieving.
What was this ringing in her ears...
The vibrations felt even in her grief.
She was ready to die today.
Die forever as a dandelion.
But she showed a hint of a smile.
As I continue to whisper more.

"Dandelions are the wishes that people make.
They are needed in this world.
So please don't run away.
Stay with me and be my wish,
for a better day.
I will love you forever and always.
Keep watch over me.
And I will do the same for you."
