do you remember the way it felt
when we were young?
the petals of human flesh blooming
opening up to the world
as we opened our eyes
and looked into it
your flower bloomed,
blush as a rush of blood
to the head,
instantaneous vertigo
don't touch me with your rotten
flesh, petals of innocence
horrific when you move and still
as a body in an open casket
your petals join at the eye
regardless if he loves me
or loves me not.
you just stare me down,
unblinking. i am helpless.
