I swallowed my mouthful of flowers
Roses and thorns in my throat
Vines growing up through my ribcage
Breathing is so difficult
Why is it easy to love you
Yet it's so hard when you leave?
Every petal a nightmare
These buds that won't bloom choke me
Breathe. My lungs are too crowded I can't
Breathe. The bittersweet smell
Overwhelming. I can feel a red flower
Blooming.
Coughing. As though a sickness has engulfed
Me. I choke back the love that you won't
See. My hope wilted but they kept
Growing. And
Growing.
