January 29, 2019 3am (woke myself up saying this out loud)
I TRIED
I tried to give you a hyacinth
With its purple pungent smell
But you refused the flower
What your problem was
I couldn’t tell
I tried to give you a kitten
With its soft white furry face
But you refused the darling
Saying she would
Stink up your place
I tried to give you a necklace
With shiny creamy pearls
But you refused its beauty
Saying you don’t like jewelry
You’re not like other girls
I tried to give you chocolates
With creamy crunchy centers
But you refused confections
Saying you abhorred
Such sweet affection
I tried to give you truth
The Word tied up with bows
But you refused to listen
What your problem was
I will never know.
