You Made Flowers Grow In My Lungs

You Made Flowers Grow In My Lungs

A Poem by Oliver Lee
"

I can't breathe

"
Rip my heart out of my chest, it would hurt less
Fill my lungs with dirt
Plant flowers with your words 
I'll water them with my tears 
And your smile will provide the sunlight 
Peeking in through the corners of my lips when we kiss
And then I'll wake up 
And realize it was only just a dream 
And all I have in my lungs 
Is a bunch of dead flowers in dirt
No water from tears
Because I can't cry anymore
No sunlight when you are gone
Only dead flowers and dirt
They become heavier when I see you 
Happy with another 
And these flowers
Were once beautiful
Now are killing me
I can't breathe
