1.My legs ache from walking
My heart aches from breaking
What if I can't remember to forget you?
2.Mud forms underneath my fingernails
A poet would compare it to the way you have made yourself a home
underneath my skin
But I don't want to write poetry
I want to be clean
3.Trees tower over me
Sometimes I can not see the sky
The only proof I have that it exists
is the birds
I hear them sing
They must be flying somewhere,right?
Why have wings if you have nowhere to go?
4.Leaves crunch underneath my feet
The crackle is so satisfying to my ears
It's cynical, I suppose,
To want the leaves to be broken
Then again,
Better them than me
5.I pass a stream and it laughs at me
I used to love water
But you were an ocean
And your waves swallowed me up
until I forgot to how to breathe
I used to love the water
Now I am just afraid
6.Beware of Poison Ivy
It stems in groups of threes
With a red dot in the middle
Tall and stealthy vines
It will tell you that you're beautiful
And then leave you with a stinging burn
Beware of Poison Ivy
7.The wind whispers to me at night
Stories of other broken hearts
To remind me I am not alone
When it's cold enough
I can see my breath
Floating before me
To remind me I am still alive
8.Sometimes bugs land on me
And suck my blood
But most times I just hear them
An ominous buzz
I am starting to believe
That every time I think I've found my way out of this maze
The insects buzz around me
Until I am lost again
9.I always look for flowers
Whenever I find them I
always want to pick them
And put them on my pillow
so my dreams will smell sweet again
But then again,you picked me
And look what it's done so far
10.The sun rises over the horizon
My bones shift
Mud cakes my feet
Birds land on my shoulder
Leaves scatter through my hair
Vines and flowers form a crown
atop my head
Mother Nature is telling me I will be okay
I think that if you spend
enough time with plants
You too,
Will begin to grow
I still miss you
Everyday
But thing is,my love
You were an ocean
But I am the jungle
