There's an orchid growing in my heart
Its colour as purple as the bruises on my skin, my dead cold fingers

No water here,
and still it blooms

No light here,
only a few diffused rays of sunshine
and still it blooms

in that gloomy ripcage of mine
going up and up
searching for the moon,
for the cracks in my skin

To get out.
