i have a rope around my neck
and it's  sliding
            tighter
                  and
         ­             tighter on my throat.
                  my life is in peril
            for a string of corded jute has proven stronger than man

I realized today that if
i want the ache to leave
i must rid my chest of your garden
on my own, ***** your help
i picked every flower you planted,
they had begun to wilt without you,
i threw them in the river
so they would float back to you
taking all my memories with them.
I planted my own flower,
one lovelier than anything you could
ever cultivate inside my chest.
It's the flower of acceptance, letting go,
and the hope of one day igniting
my soul again with another flame.

she planted secrets once
potted them with fresh
soil and watched them
grow, they were never

weeds

If I were to compare you to anything,
It would most likely be a flower.
So beautiful and colourful,
The kind I'd watch and smell for hours.
Water you, and care for you,
Till you're taller than the towers.

Even then I wouldn't leave,
I'd just watch you even more.
While you're ten stories high,
While I'm six feet off the floor.

But like all trees and plants,
Someone will want you out of their way.
But I'd try my hardest,
To keep you another day.

Stay with you for days,
All night and all hours.
I'll never want to leave you,
My precious, dainty little flower.

Flowers,**
aren’t they pretty?
they wait, and wait.. and wait to bloom.

Just like a lost girl,
that waits, and waits.. and waits to be found.

Grow with me.

See the  world as a stronger person,
each day.

Together we will take on new actions.

And discover new meanings.

And we will live life to the fullest,

Because we know no other way.
