Invasive

Is there a seedling in your heart

and does it reach towards me

like I’m the sunlight?

Does it need my love for

nourishment, or does it

revel in my sorrow and pain?

Is it cannibalistic?

Does it drink my tears and

fester when I shine?

Sometimes I think I feel it

when we kiss,

slipping down my throat

and bursting like a

dandelion in the wind,

spreading its seeds in

my chest.

Perhaps now it

has sunk its roots

into my lungs and

sucked up all the air.

When I die and they

open up my body,

will they see tiny roots like

capialries wrapped around the

veins in my arms

and organs blooming flowers?
