Cannatown Lifestyle A Flower Can Break Your Heart By CannaTown Poet Laureate Ed Munchien
A flower can break your heart. From the first days of youthful introductions packed tightly and passionately burning, each kiss a breath of white smoke upon your grin of disbelief. Once sampled, you’ll return again and again swearing to never see another, that the perfection you seek has been found. And then, just like that, she’ll disappear, gone, no more, like she never was. None shall compare as you spend days, weeks, months, a lifetime yearning to see her again but no one in town will know of her whereabouts; she will exist only in rumor and remembrance, and every impassioned kiss thereon shall ring hollow and untrue. You’ll long to smell her sweetness once more and run your fingers upon her auburn hair, yet know, deep down that it was all a fool’s dream.
Until one day you’ll find her in another’s hands, plucked before full bloom, dried as if drawn across a desert,
scorched, mangled, scrawny, and frail, a skeleton of the rose you once knew, not the same girl you studied day and night. Casually and callously she will be broken apart, ground finely into crumbs and then dust, passed around to be tasted by filthy lips and you’ll shrivel with the simultaneous curiosity and disappointment and betrayal, longing to get back to that time when you first knew her,
first felt her in your blood first had that holy moment. You’ll wish you’d never met again. A flower can break your heart.
