Wallflowers

Green vines sprout from my finger tips,

they etch themselves into the gritty cement.

Like a **** to never surrender.

 

The vines persist to lay their tracks.

Seeing other flowers begin to bloom,

makes me dig deeper never to be pried.

 

As they intertwine, a fury of untrimmed roses suffocates me.

Instead I choose to fuse with the comfort of this wall

I have no need for flowers, I am here to be alone.
