Oleander

[faeriekk]

Title: Oleander
Rating: G
Warning(s):
Summary: Ode to a flower

The slip of poison through cracked skin
Releasing all that doubt within
Eating away all my identities
Dissolving shadowed entities
White petals like wax enveloping emotion
Dagger green leaves cutting lose my devotion
It’s hard to believe something so elegant and lithe
Could bring about my demise
An oleander thriving in the heat
As I wither in defeat
