bad roots

there is something bad in me.
it's deeply rooted,
tucked away in the dark of my body.

it shows in the way that;

my anger courses through my veins,
leaving the flowers to wilt as my fingers dance over them.

or how jealousy runs through my blood,
leaving everyone i hold to suffocate as i long for an extra second of their touch.

even in the way sadness trembles in my fingertips, leaving a plagued presence as i try to find a grasp on reality.

and as my emptiness consumes my body,
leaving an everlasting void in my heart with no piece of me left to fit.
