Languish
A vine that slips and weaves itself
 It slowly snakes itself through my heart
 Creating Cracks, holes, and Heartbreak
 
 With every break-up
 With every death
 All grievances
 A new vine grows
 Within my heart
 Tears me further apart
 Leaves a new scar
 Something else for my heart to deal with
 
 The vine squeezes and pulls
 Leaving my heart in pain
 Reaching full bloom
 Petals of a beautiful flower reach out
 And hits the walls of my body
 Trapped and confined 
 Completely bottled up
 The flower rages against the walls
 Though its not entirely their fault
 This causes a fresh ache
  
 Soon the flower will diminish
 Autumn works in a chill
 Kills off the gorgeous petals
 But relieves the ache
 
 Time passes
 The flower is gone
 Leaving fragile snowflakes behind
 The vines recede
 Everything mends
 The walls forget
 And a new seed is planted 
 The cycle begins
