My hand smells like onions

And although I hate onions

It reminds me of you, so i shall keep it

For just a bit longer.

 

It's not that I'm sad

But so very very happy

That i cry

And my tears are golden

And shining like the sun.

 

Beneath my rays of sunshine

My heart flowers

And my feet take root

So deeply in you

That I cant possibly oull away

Or be cut free

By any invading hands or swinging axe
