PLASTIC FLOWERS

The sink is empty and still leaks water

I count the time by every drop that falls

The grass is high how you like it

I can see it tickle your ankles now

The screen door is screaming at me

It’s the only thing I’ve talked to in days

Sorry I’m late but I bought these for you

Plastic flowers for your bed

Someday soon I’ll be by your side

And your flowers will never die

Our house smells like burnt coffee

I always save a cup for you

I can’t turn the light off to your closet

Or the room where you taught me to love

Sorry I’m late but I bought these for you

Plastic flowers for your bed

Someday soon I’ll be by your side

And your flowers will never die

Sorry I’m late, but I bought these for you
