You glow Your radiated purple hue Just touching you multiplies my atoms Just touching your pedal is cancerous I grew you in a chemical spill I watered you every day With my dappling of sunshine I hoped to elevate your foliage You kept reaching out You reached for more nature Until your sickly festered roots Tore you in another direction You grew towards a reactor Beyond the need for gardening You grew towards the processing plant Beyond the dappling of sunshine You keep growing and growing But you won't grow anywhere But further into your toxic Pedals never face the sunshine All you want is clean rain you say All you want is some sun All you do is lay there in the waste All you do is wait for it to be done All you do is grow mutant fruit All you do is grow your thorns I'm trying to live in the sunlight here While a new gardener collects your scorn I threw fertilizer over toxic waste I gave it some fresh new earth I planted roses in your place I allowed my garden rebirth The roses are coming in just fine I'll expect them still next June They grow towards sunlight every day They're my positive giving negative prune I hope you like to wasteland I hope you like the sun at your back I'll keep growing my Fresh Roses I can't grow your Toxic Lilac

The Toxic Lilac
You glow Your radiated purple hue Just touching you multiplies my atoms Just touching your pedal is cancerous I grew you in a chemical spill I watered you every day With my dappling of sunshine I hoped to elevate your foliage You kept reaching out You reached for more nature Until your sickly festered roots Tore you in another direction You grew towards a reactor Beyond the need for gardening You grew towards the processing plant Beyond the dappling of sunshine You keep growing and growing But you won't grow anywhere But further into your toxic Pedals never face the sunshine All you want is clean rain you say All you want is some sun All you do is lay there in the waste All you do is wait for it to be done All you do is grow mutant fruit All you do is grow your thorns I'm trying to live in the sunlight here While a new gardener collects your scorn I threw fertilizer over toxic waste I gave it some fresh new earth I planted roses in your place I allowed my garden rebirth The roses are coming in just fine I'll expect them still next June They grow towards sunlight every day They're my positive giving negative prune I hope you like to wasteland I hope you like the sun at your back I'll keep growing my Fresh Roses I can't grow your Toxic Lilac
"She's a stronger person than I have ever had the pleasure to know. I'm just glad I found a new flower to grow." You blog about your depression and your boyfriend and how lowly you think of yourself and how no-one cares and how you starve yourself. All I wanted was your happiness but it feels like you needlessly suffer.
