Evermore

You say

But you shoved me in this harsh ground

Cold and alone

I begged you for water

For sunshine

But you turned your back on me

I can see blooms in the distant sun

Flourishing as they are cared for

Delicate and lovely

But I am no flower

I am a Lady Of The Night Cactus

I don’t need your sunshine

I will bloom under the moon

And I will make anyone who tries to touch me bleed
