Vines of Demise

January 25, 2024
By Anonymous

Vigilant about every move I made,  
Always safe by sturdy walls around me,  
I vowed to not let my loyal guard fade,  
All you could do, at best, knock and flee. 
 
Ruptures in me, daunting and disturbing, 
Voracious vines ruin my home's steady walls. 
Ensnared, immobile, my body writhing, 
In a tragic plight, my mighty guard falls.  
 
Breath of fresh air brought a strange sensation,  
Vile vines tore me down; pure white they bloomed.  
Behold a once desolate location,  
Your fingerprints were all around the room. 
 
Witnessing my collapse with pure delight, 
Didn’t want you here, yet didn’t fight.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

If male homosexuals are called "gay," then female homosexuals should be called "ecstatic."
