The Flowers in My Lungs are Choking Me

I see him and smile, but he only walks away
They grow
They open their petals and creep up my neck
No one knows
These flowers will be my demise
The flowers blossom out my mouth
The flowers grow in my chest
In my lungs their roots crawl and scratch
They cause suffering
But my feelings rage on
He doesn't feel the same way
The flowers suck the air away from my lungs
And I gasp for a breath
The blooms flourish
The way I feel about him, too
How he can't even look my way
Feels like a rose thorn lodged in my throat
I worship his every move
Laugh at all his jokes
But how he doesn't acknowledge my attempts to grad his attention
Feels like a marigold locked in my chest
Like a primrose growing from the inside of me to the outside
The flowers growing in my lungs
Are choking me
