Dogwood Blooms

I’m not alone in this

Wanting something more than solitude

A dogwood blooms and fades away 

Forgotten until the next year. 

I need something more than

A hand on my shoulder

A connection that lasts

Past these fleeting moments 

Give me more than a promise

Be the one who is the only 

I don’t want you to come and go

Whoever you are

I’m not alone in this

Wanting something more than solitude

A dogwood blooms and fades away 

Forgotten until the next year. 

In the spring I met you 

And then gone by winter 

You couldn’t be my love 

Because you couldn’t  do it 

At this point I beyond this 

I just don’t want to deal with it

I love you and still  I hate you 

Whoever you are. 

I’m not alone in this

Wanting something more than solitude

A dogwood blooms and fades away 

Forgotten until the next year. 

It’s a promise of spring 

You blossomed with opportunity 

Yet you wilted with the summer heat 

I’m looking for something more than that. 

I’m not alone in this

Wanting something more than solitude

A dogwood blooms and fades away 

Forgotten until the next year.
