Marigold - Holding Absence

We began just an orchid

«You will bloom through the mud, kid»

Timeless, we knew of no day and night

I blew away like Notus

Fell asleep like a lotus

Our love divided, hiatus

I could never grow to hate us

Marigold, you’ll never know

Marigold, you’ll never know

I was up all hours

«You never bought me flowers»

To me, acacia ingrained

We grew farther as it rained

Marigold, you’ll never know

Marigold, you’ll never know

Now just a corpse, we carry on

We’re nothing more than carrion

Years later, minutes feel like hours

As you wilt away, my wallflower

Marigold, you’ll never know

Marigold
