You make flowers grow in my lungs

Into my mouth, spilling over my tongue

Tulips, daisies, daffodils

Vines climb my face and block out the sun

Petals and pollen tickle my throat

Roses are red, baby that's all you wrote

Needles and thorns slice my skin to ribbons

My blood is redder than roses

Now I'm choking on dandelion seeds

No more wishes to be had with these

My eyes fill with nectar

My hair's full of leaves

The colors and scents

Attract swarms of bees

And they sting

Me

You make flowers grow in my lungs

And they're beautiful

But I can't breathe
