Night-Blooming

in flowers we grow
and no one knows us like them
the grace it gives in

the grace they live in
flowers and changes them so
love, i'd like to live

kiss me then, he said
only flowers know this love
you're wrong E, we do

hurt and comfort me
so i can flower like them 
so i can live again

i want to breathe this in
i want to live in the frame
its love won't be trimmed

a garden or a vase can't hold this
wild love, outgrowing its frame
exploding my brain
i won't give you my name
because I've outgrown it
outlived it

i came here to find you

i didn't know before
that i came here to find you

i did not come here to find you
but oh, when i did
i felt as though i'd never lived 

I've never loved like this before
all my sorrow feels like beautiful thorns
apart of my body, vines entwined
pieces of my stem my base, how i grew 
it all feels worth it now
open flower or wrapped up with you
petals face to face
not bruising 

this is not a bruising love
but it's exploding
not overpowering 
but encompassing
holding me in 
allowing me to open
