Hanahaki Disease
March 16, 2023
I caught a cold
This wasn’t any ordinary cold
It left little tulip petals in my steps
Sprouted sunflower seeds in my lungs
This wasn’t an ordinary cold
It began
I found you weren’t mine
Your Lilly flowers
Trickled their way into my blood stream
As you ran roses into my heart
Plugging my arteries
Like a dam and a flooded river
I cried chrysanthemums
And breathed petunias
I choked daffodils
I bled buttercups
This wasn’t an ordinary cold
This my heart
Filled with flowers
The seeds sprouting
From you

A friend told me once that I would be perfect for hanahaki disease, which honestly I didn’t know if I should take it at a compliment or not. I thought about it and decided that it made sense. I was in the same situation at would cause it, so why not roll with it.
