Grown in filth
without love or nurture;
neglect rotted our roots deep below.
Growing pains
from swaying in great storms;
deceit drained our desire to flower.
Leaves wilted
while fungus clogged our veins;
we craved the caress of a rainbow.

Growing pains

Leaves wilted
while fungus clogged our veins;
we craved the caress of a rainbow.
the soil soaked in my hurried hurt
never hear you tell me you loved me
where your love left me exiled
life before the bruises
we knew neither compassion nor remorse
whispered fears and deranged ideas
while my moist lips trembled
feet dragged in the filth of apathy
I always believed life would be fair
