In an upside-down garden

You write it off without another glance
past the faded hair you grew to love
through a forest of lost memories
each one leading back to the same
pointless thoughts she painted inside

Her walk, through a hazy door
jilted by the memory that
some things are never perfect

And she spoke to you without saying much
each one you lost, replaced by
yet another thing that reminded you
that we were once together, once
we even loved each other enough

She collects broken hearts, hangs them
on the back side of a split wooden door
a fantasy treasure of   everything

That never was perfect enough
all roads lead to graceland and you
forgot, you simply misunderstood it all
wallowed too deeply at the wrong times
engrossed too much to realize

    that the most you had to give
    would never be enough for me.
