You know, once upon a time there was a girl like me

But there was never a him that I could quite convince of that, so I’ve decided to let her be

I left her between the bedsheets of our shared queen, King

She lays to rest there undisturbed, I mean…

We’ll never mess up the bed again

And it really ain’t no need for making amends 

When the bond was broke before it was even built 

I mean, we barely laid the silt 

What we tending when we ain’t even planted seeds?

Nah…

Ain’t really a need for apologies when you never thought to gift me flowers in the first place 

I want clean slate love

Real intentional 

Foundation first before we try and build above, love 

A girl like me needs a carpenter

Someone good with the wood and a hammer to lay the sh*t down 

Mama always said make sure the one you pick is good with his hands

And you halfway fit the bill

But I’ve had my fill

And now it’s time to show me something real…

Where are my flowers?
