Dead Poet

I'm dead 
by the deeds I never do
I'm toxic to the flower 
which bloomed from my roots 
I'm an expired soul
who took my heart as a whole 
I was torn away by the pieces 
which I picked to save  
I'm a dissected seed
to the plants I nurtured
I'm deceased
letting my words bleed eternally 
I'm a dead poet
singing my last breath
I'm dead and lost 
by living my heart to the fullest.
