I was so alive
Like a
Garden
Sweetly cared for.

I thought you planted
The sweetest
Flowers
As you gracefully entered my life

But I was so wrong, for
You were
Planting
Weeds with every step.

Slowly, I withered away
While you
Gleefully
Claimed what wasn't yours.

You demolished my every
Root of
Sanity
Until I was left lifeless.

You left me as a
Dying secret
Garden
Lost within myself.
