Rooting From a Seed
If you could see it in my eyes
The subtle refusal
Because it might not feel right to me
Not at this moment
Not at this point in time
Because everything is out of whack
Everything is out of character
This is not what I expected
But somehow I knew
That this was to be expected
And I was hoping beyond hope
That this was not to be expected
That something else would take its place
Something rooting from a seed
Not something developing from a deed
