An Autumn Death

I’m shaken
What can I do?!
A seed planted in my ribs
It has grown and nourished
You are why it has blossomed
You took care of it all the time
It was you who had nurtured it
You who gave it the warmth it needed
Your presence was light which it fed from
It grew and grew
With every date it would grow
It spread through every artery and tissue
This was my support
Rooted at my heart it stemmed into my blood
It grew from you and it lived for you
And after taking over my body I lived for you
The beautiful flowers within me are yours

But you ripped it out
I am now hollow
The roots have been torn off
Now this body doesn’t listen no more
Something inside me is dying
I can feel the brown leaves
Rotting within me in my veins
Poison spreads inside from a dead being
I won’t function anymore
The branches in my limbs shaken
They won’t listen to me anymore
They recognise not me but you
But you’re gone
I moved for you I breathed for you
But now I’m stood still without breath
I’m suffocating without you
Something inside is dying
And my mind is alive with the pain
Because you’re gone now its gone
What I relied on is gone and now
I’m stuck without my support
Where the roots were is a hole
My mind stays silent whilst parched
But my heart screams for water
