"Rosebush"

I've had bushes of roses planted for me

Inspired poetry worthy of publication

Been driven to the moon just to see the view

Given all the things, all the stuff

Everything physical, with "love"

At least that's what was promised...

Til what was bestowed became owed

My imprisoned love, not enough

I couldn't see through the stars

The blacks and blues marked my arms, my face, my neck

"Don't ever touch me again!"

I never asked for a rose garden

or language that beguiles me, traps me with your mood

The moon is the most beautiful

But I can't breathe on my own on the moon!

Promised the world for me

But all I wanted was to be held in an embrace of genuine interest.
