You planted a seed in my heart

And I'm afraid It's growing.

Swallowing me like vines,

and I keep thy stowing. 

~

Days passed and

you forgot to

water it, and I

start to ache. 

The flower in my heart

now dry, so full of hate.

~

The branches that 

twisted like an 

old olive tree, 

began to unwind,

and I felt oxygen

refill my lungs like 

twisting carnival ride.

~

You stood in front of 

me with your watering can. 

But I stood in front of

you like a blazing fire. 

I mumbled words distantly,

"Thy free from my stow, 

no more confinment.

I wish you happiness,

but I must run 

Independent."
