I handed you a flower
told you
this is my whole body

you planted it in the garden
around your lungs

and pretend like it didn't have the same name
or sang the same songs
the same ones I use to sing

on the nights you try not to hear them
it still makes you ponder
on how much
those flowers still haunt you

or how little
you wish you would sing
out loud...
