About the work
These are song lyrics.
I gave my heart like it was holy ground
laid it open, never made a sound
Every time I stayed felt like a silent vow
I was yours, I just didn’t know how
I watered love with everything I had
even when it started turning bad
I kept hoping you would finally see
all the good you were taking from me
But love shouldn’t feel like slowly breaking skin
and calling it devotion from within
And the flowers I was waiting for in spring
quickly became thorns
and the dead petals still lay on the ground
where I thought I belonged
I was reaching for something soft and kind
but it cut me every time
now there’s poison in the way I love
like an ivy learning how to climb
Now I hesitate before I let someone close
every touch feels like a warning sign
I’ve learned how to guard my light
how to keep myself from every fight
There’s a softness buried deep in me
but it’s hidden underneath debris
of every promise that was left to die
every “forever” turned into goodbye
I don’t wanna be a heart that turns to stone
but it’s safer than breaking on my own
And the flowers I was waiting for in spring
quickly became thorns
and the dead petals still lay on the ground
like a love I still mourn
I was reaching for a place to rest
but it pulled me into vines
now there’s poison in the way I trust
like a garden I can’t leave behind
Hopelessly wishing I had bloomed as a peony
soft and untouched, something you couldn’t bleed
but I grew wild where the hurt had been
now I don’t know where you end and I begin
And the flowers I was waiting for in spring
never came at all
just the broken versions of me
learning how to face the fall
I was wishing for a different end
but I lost myself in time
now there’s poison in the way I love
but at least this heart is mine
I won’t give anyone the power to be my rain
I’ll be my own sunlight, my own healing
And if I ever love again… I’ll do it gently
like the peony that was always meant to bloom

Title Poison Ivy
These are song lyrics.
I gave my heart like it was holy ground
laid it open, never made a sound
Every time I stayed felt like a silent vow
I was yours, I just didn’t know how
I watered love with everything I had
even when it started turning bad
I kept hoping you would finally see
all the good you were taking from me
But love shouldn’t feel like slowly breaking skin
and calling it devotion from within
And the flowers I was waiting for in spring
quickly became thorns
and the dead petals still lay on the ground
where I thought I belonged
I was reaching for something soft and kind
but it cut me every time
now there’s poison in the way I love
like an ivy learning how to climb
Now I hesitate before I let someone close
every touch feels like a warning sign
I’ve learned how to guard my light
how to keep myself from every fight
There’s a softness buried deep in me
but it’s hidden underneath debris
of every promise that was left to die
every “forever” turned into goodbye
I don’t wanna be a heart that turns to stone
but it’s safer than breaking on my own
And the flowers I was waiting for in spring
quickly became thorns
and the dead petals still lay on the ground
like a love I still mourn
I was reaching for a place to rest
but it pulled me into vines
now there’s poison in the way I trust
like a garden I can’t leave behind
Hopelessly wishing I had bloomed as a peony
soft and untouched, something you couldn’t bleed
but I grew wild where the hurt had been
now I don’t know where you end and I begin
And the flowers I was waiting for in spring
never came at all

I was wishing for a different end
but I lost myself in time
now there’s poison in the way I love
but at least this heart is mine
I won’t give anyone the power to be my rain
I’ll be my own sunlight, my own healing
And if I ever love again… I’ll do it gently
like the peony that was always meant to bloom
