Oleander Shrub
Fell for the beauty of an oleander
My feelings were in an emotion blender
They told me that you were bitter
But you always made me feel better
You altered my heartbeat to a new rhythm
It's okay for me, so why should I listen
When with you, my body goes numb
It's a feeling I can't overcome
They said that I was poisoned
But with them, I somehow reasoned
In the end when I woke up
There were no flowers, but the shrub
