Uriah Hamilton - I’ve Bought Flowers

You’re not far from this place,
But our separation is canyon-like.

Did you know I was grieved
For the sound of your voice
And the scent of your hair?

I’ve bought flowers
That I later tossed into the trash
Because I knew you would not accept them.

Uriah Hamilton
