You/Me

you

you you you

you cruel disgusting vile person

you were the prize rose in my garden

i nursed you to grow strong

to love yourself the way i loved you

me

me me me

my desperate needy hopeless soul

i was a weed

and no matter what you did

you could not be rid of me

eventually you pulled me out and replaced me

with a flower you found more to your liking

i thought you were a rose

you were deadly nightshade

beautiful yet killer

you thought i was kudzu

i suffocated you

but i was a dandelion

pulled before its prime

a wish that could never be born
