You Made Flowers Grow In My LungsA Poem by Oliver LeeI can't breatheRip 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
