LIVE

“Garden

The butterflies you planted in my stomach are trying to escape

I feel their tiny feet crawling up my throat

The flutter of their wings

They want to be set free

We both want to be free

I fear that I will not die by the hands of old age

But by the hands of my lover

I told you i always wanted a garden

So you planted seeds in my skin

To watch me flourish

To become the one thing I always wanted

But what you don’t realize

Or maybe you do

Is that the roots have dug their way into my flesh

Draining the blood out of my veins to make themselves flourish

But at least they will be pretty

Will you pick the flowers growing from my decaying body to show everyone what a beautiful garden you can make?”

“It’s the color of your eyes

The last time I saw you

When your face was stained with tears

Red rimmed eyelids

Highlighting your ocean eyes


It’s the color I felt

For days after you left

Gloomy days lead by storming skies

The gods cried with me too


It was the color of his hair

Matching the sky on a clear day

When he came into my life


It’s the color of his jeans

That were ripped at the knees

Blood staining his skin

From the skateboard under my feet

And the color of my nails as I held his hand

Laughing downtown under the colorful umbrellas


It’s the color he made my skies

Going from gloomy rainy days to clear skies

Blue is what you made me become

But blue doesn’t always have be sad”
