hanahakis crimson garden

Inside me, a tempest rages -
flowers bursting through cracked ribs,
their thorns piercing deeper with every silent scream.

I choke on words unsaid,
swallowing the poison of quiet love,
letting petals tear through my lungs
until breath becomes a battleground.

you are the sun i cant reach -
bright and distant,
while i bleed this garden of pain,
thorns digging in like broken promises.

each cough drags blood and heartbreak,
a cruel harvest of longing and loss.
and i am suffocating beneath
the weight of flowers i can never give away.

im drowning in this silent scream, 
a garden grown from sorrow,
where hope withers,
and love kills.
