  Nov 2017 Anthea

You left love notes
Written along my ribcage
You said the spaces
Made perfect lines for poetry
My skin still remembers
Even after I washed you off
Anthea Nov 2017
I was a flower
who longed to be watered
but he didn't like flowers
so I knew I would wilt
and that was fine

He began to water the roses
and my thirst rejuvenated
but he didn't like dandelions
no one waters a ****

As roses bloomed my roots withered
a bright yellow flower turned to white seeds
he steps on me
my seeds blow away...
Anthea Nov 2017
He once told me lilacs were his favorite
For such a yellow man to love a purple flower
Dichotomy at its best
But they say opposites attract

The flower of rejection

I miss him
But he was never mine to start with
These days...
He exists in every lilac I see
Anthea Nov 2017
How at this point do I even live without him...
There lies this great emotional dependency
That makes me think, maybe I am addicted
As if he were my drug, and I inject him in every vein.
Breathe him in until I no longer struggle for breath
Fill my lungs up with his smoke so I can feel again
Suffocate in his radiance until I am whole and new
Melt under the sound of his voice to feel it claw deeper into my soul
Swallow his pills of butterflies
Smell the flowers he's planted within me
Consume their seeds and cry
Let my tears be the water for flowers roots to spread further into my heart
And let bouquets spring from every orifice
And burst violently from my chest; engulfing me
Place me at the center of this garden he's grown.
