About the size of your fist
The soil, displaced, is missing or merged
With the rest of your thoughts

You place three little pods of her nagging insecurity
Into the tiny gap
You dig up some new thoughts and cover these seeds
Forgotten in hours of days

Her unnecessary tears shower rain on this spot
Almost to the point of excess
Every secret you share with her
Is a root shooting deeper still

The eye of denial shines
Shines in the sky
Rays beating into your thoughts
Masking the seeds with nourishment

As all plants do
It grows overnight
Blooming and thriving with life

But it is a thorn bush
Full of resentment and hate
It’s consuming the land
It’s consuming your mind

All who walk by you
Are pricked with your bitterness
Why can’t you just cut it down? [comments] => 1 [counter] => 165 [topic] => 6 [informant] => CarrieLindeman [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

Hate Gardening

You have dug yourself a hole
About the size of your fist
The soil, displaced, is missing or merged
With the rest of your thoughts

You place three little pods of her nagging insecurity
Into the tiny gap
You dig up some new thoughts and cover these seeds
Forgotten in hours of days

Her unnecessary tears shower rain on this spot
Almost to the point of excess
Every secret you share with her
Is a root shooting deeper still

The eye of denial shines
Shines in the sky
Rays beating into your thoughts
Masking the seeds with nourishment

As all plants do
It grows overnight
Blooming and thriving with life

But it is a thorn bush
Full of resentment and hate
It’s consuming the land
It’s consuming your mind

All who walk by you
Are pricked with your bitterness
Why can’t you just cut it down?
