PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i let you be the green in my life. you grew

inside of me. i thought they were lilacs,

but all i can see are weeds.

spreading to my lungs. right. left. growing too fast,

i can hardly catch my breath.

you climb up and all i can inhale is pollen.

you're fucking suffocating me

with each new weed discovered.

i thought you were the tulips.

all you could ever be were dandelions.

growing free, never staying still.

spreading like wildfire, all the way to brazil.

and you're choking the living daylight out of me.

still. i see you when i shut my eyes.

and i am ashamed to have made you

out to be something great. something

bigger than anyone could ever be.

with golden vines and honest eyes.

was it all to much to ask of you?

when all i ever wanted was your loyalty.

three years down the drain.

maybe i'm lucky to get out now.

it isn't too late for me to get what i deserve.
