You'll Only Hold Me Once

 
Did you think I was some
luscious flower
who would always bloom for you
to do with as you please

Pulling my petals off
he loves me not
tearing my leaves
yanking and crushing
until I rot back into
whatever's left of my roots
to grow again
so you can begin killing me again

I've grown back a flower

The flower of a cactus

Embrace me
