Hibiscus by Kishawna Illustration by Mélissa Mathieu
I don’t think you know me sir
I take calculated risks
You were
Examined
Measured
Observed
Before I proceeded
Love to me is one of the greatest risks
Constantly watered with luxe conversations
dreams of happiness
acts of chivalry
I bloom
To bloom out of my bud
and expose my petals to the elements
I need to be sure
Sure
that you won’t blow me over with your ego
or starve me of air
Sure
that I’ll feel your warmth
and our troubles never drown me
But wow...
I seem to never be able to outsmart love
He always comes dressed differently
finds a way to creep in
and disguises himself as ideal
And I open
and I fall
I try to retreat back to my bud
Instead
I feel each petal leaving me
slowly
Leaving me
bare
I can’t undo opening up
I fall apart instead
