For the first time
I want to let you in.
I want you to see
The tangled vines, in the thick forest
that is my soul.
To wander through the unexplored paths,
discovering my deepest, darkest secrets
But promise me
That once you step foot inside
you won't leave weeds behind
Promise me, instead,
You'll plant flowers and
take good care of them
Because I don't know
If I can withstand another person
embedding poison within me
