Bring me a flower and I’ll plant you a seed,

Wrapping vines around your heart,

The foundation strong,

The leaves, with fruit

Prosper and love you and keep you safe,

They infiltrate your wounds and inside grow lush and full,

Enticing forests and greenery,

It doesn’t feel like giving myself,

Protecting you,

It doesn’t feel like risking my soul,

The withered vines of my own,

Ragged and torn tough.
