Tigerlilly
I was your
Tigerlilly
Strong and beautiful
You said
Come and pick me
Won’t you?
Come and pick me
I long to be the laurel
To crown your head
The flowers I would wear
In my hair
Were dying from the moment
they were plucked
I always knew
Love was a bruise
I just didn’t know how much
Tigerlilly
I’m a
Tigerlilly
He’s preserved my soul
Kept me whole
I’m not shattering for this
You can’t kill me
No, you can’t kill me
now
You already did
But we both know
Wildflowers grow
back
Stronger
When they die
It’s not for naught
I’ve lost a lot
But I didn’t lose my pride
I only miss your eyes
Tigerlilly
You traded me
For a Lilly of the Valley
And I do
I really do
Pray that you will be happy
Tigerlilly
In a field that’s burned
It’s my turn….
to die
