Hanahaki
Flowers. There's flowers in my lungs. Beautiful flowers.
Why are there flowers in my lungs? They're suffocating me, and when I cough them up they're bloody and rigid.
There's flowers in my lungs. If I don't cough them up what happens?
Just don't fertilize the flowers.
Little do you know the thought of this will fertilize the flowers in itself.
Don't fertilize the flowers.
There's no coughing out these flowers, for only more will grow.
