My garden grew
Before I knew you
One day you came
With a scent that drove me insane
Skipping and prancing through the weeds
Lustful and gay, spilling your seeds
Naive and unaware
I saw no threat in the fruit you bear
You planted the seeds in my soil
For inside my chest, my heart boiled
Curious and enthralled, I made haste
For passion fruit; I craved its taste
Your eyes burned right through me
It felt like all of me you could see
Our seeds begin to grow
Evilness unseen is what I sowed
We loved until our first fruit bloomed
After the first bite; I saw Doom
For worms and maggots infested the core
Then I saw who you were; an ugly whore
My beautiful garden destroyed by a single seed
The leaves turned black and the trees bleed
Now left alone to cry
All I want to do is die
The Dark Crows have devoured the posies
Now all that is left are Steel Roses

I like the ending to this. The last two lines give it a hard but specific ending.
'The Dark Crows have devoured the posies
Now all that is left are Steel Roses'
That was a classic departure, well done.

I love it! The imagery that you have shown is beyond words! I first thought this would be a love poem but it's not; more of an antilove poem. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful work!
