your roots are embedded
deep in my skin and
your branches wrap around my waist
so tightly, it is almost
as if i'm in your embrace.
your flowers are in
my lungs,
making it hard for me to
breathe and your
fruits are growing in
my heart;
please don't do this
it hurts
because they remind me
of you and their seeds
will grow here too
making a forest
full of you
which will catch a fire
and burn me inside out.
