I'm not some sort of endangered species. I'm not a ******* Pink Lady Slipper its okay to pick me. Pluck me Love me **** me Just tell me the truth. Before I grow roots into you. Rip open my rib cage and ever so gently pull the weeds from my tangled bones. Hold me against you like a bouquet of roses. I want to know your plans. So show me the schematics of your heart beat, I promise my blueprints are so much more than the veins in my forearms when we hold hands. I'm trying to find a forest. I'm tired of climbing over mountains, just to walk through fields of dandelions.
