the forests that still haunt me.

my mouth is closed shut,
as the sentences
that could ignite insanity,
rip a hole within my throat.

i watch silently.
like a hawk to its prey,
as you stalk the darkest corners of
of the drowning forest that
engulf my mind.

the ghost growls with hate,
of the person i had become.
while the mossy grass that covers the
forest floor will always be imprinted
with your footsteps.

i want to scream,
rip out the vocal cords
of my screeching thoughts.
i want to dry up my gardens,
burn the forests,
and plant new growth
that you will never understand.

but answer me this—
how can i grow,
if my roots are still with you?
