Gardens

Plant a garden of lies in my ribcage

Hold me tightly

And whisper softly in my ear

Tell me those lies like you mean it

Let the warmth of your chest eat me alive

Hear me say

"I just want to be adored." ever so softly

Hold my hand tightly and say

"I'll never let you go"

Let me drift off onto your shoulder

And cry as our galaxies fade

I just want to be adored!

Tell me that I'm beautiful

And sing me a lullaby

I'll call you baby

And hug you goodnight

I'll hug you tight as the whole universe disappears

And everything around us turns to smoke

Then we'll try to stitch it back together

And hope it stays in tact

You'll watch as the flowers in my ribcage grow into a forest

As it takes over my whole body

I'll scream that I can't breathe

As you fill my forest with more lies

"I can't breathe!"

I scream as each lie is planted

You'll cry

"I just wanted to make you beautiful again" you scream to me

As my body is being taken over

I try to breathe

I can't breathe anymore

I can't breathe.
