Analysis of Flowers for Bail



Gifted a basket after Jail
Collected Spring's flowers after Bail
Cherished the basket
For it's better than a casket

It's a feeling that you can't buy
The prior alternate only being enjoyed by sinful eyes
Flowers bloomed from my head
Replacing the ones that were dead

Spring's breath wilted the weeds in my throat
Spring's eyes satisfied the needs that I longed
Spring's presence releases pressure in my lungs
Spring's body inspired words to be wrote

In this field of flowers, I've ran so far
Considerate of how I felt
Those cold, desolate bars
That Spring has melt
