Flowers ripped apart

To pieces and pieces

Shredded everywhere

Like torn up paper

Except paper and flowers

They have a difference

Paper isn't living

Paper has no feelings

Paper doesn't know when it's being hurt

Flowers are living

Flowers may not have feelings

But they do die

They do know when they're being hurt

When you break it apart

Everything is lost

That flower can no longer be put back together again

Even if you tried

It wouldn't be able to grow anymore

It would no longer be alive

Now paper

Paper you can tape back together

And therefore

You would have no problem

I was once a flower

Now I'm just this

A broken girl

Who can no longer be put back together

But instead

Paper replaced me
