Poem weed that grew over a shallow grave

Now that you've killed me

You walk the earth whole

Invisible strings, embedded down my soul

Drew blood from my arms

Used it to write you poems

Rip apart my spine

Wield it as a pen

Write you all sorrows

Weave the letters through my veins

Lay low beneath a ground unknown

Nothing to hold on to

But the roots of a weeping willow

The mites have gotten through my skin

But they all sccumbed to what I hold

You reap what you sow

Why is it that I'm the one underneath the floor?

Cling to your essence

Hug the dirt you poured

I'm the one who grieves

While it was you who held the sword

I'm now weed that grew over a shallow grave

But I was once the one who yearned to be the one you hold

Undo all my veins

Swallow whole your pulses

Grow your heart as my fruit

Our love will grow from my roots

The birds will hum the tunes of love

They'll use my bone as a flute
