Rosette

Out here in the open, not even half way home This bouquet I carry is a promise I've longed to show Unprepared to weather this world alone But it's a promise I said I'd show I've lost more than I could ever know Photographs of a loving home Such anger in this house no longer my own My journey's too far affected By losing faith in what I've reflected Two years neglected, roots pulled from the ground Rejected Remember when you had a change of heart? Protective reassurance the significant part Pulled from the rosette that was safe in my bones Taking me wayward down an unmarked road With release of the hand you let me go Turning your back as my up-roots show Exposed to the air limbs wither and die Abandon your child he's not worth your time Exposed to the air limbs wither and die Abandon your child he's not worth your time I'm coming back, I'm stepping on My heart will take me to where I belong I'm not losing faith in what I've reflected My journey has been too far affected
