Spoiler: Overgrown
you planted a rose bush
in the garden of my heart
and left it there for me to tend
not your best decision
to be fair
it's nice you left something behind
but you were supposed to be the best of us
and I don't even know where the shears are
hell it's been five years
since I even went outside
I didn't feel like breathing
air weighed down
by your scent
and I thought
it would just wither
if I had a longer drought--
well five years of heat waves
and harsh winters later
I feel tired of this climate
I feel like spring showers
and watching the sun rise again
and I want a well-kept backyard
someplace to have people over in
--and I didn't expect the ivy
to grow in recent weather
much less all over the roses
the clingy bastard--
anyway
this is getting long
and I have to get to work
cleaning up our tangled mess
there is no glove thick enough
that I won't feel your thorns
but I'll pull them out one by one
until my heart lets go
