A feeling of respite
Amidst the green blades so true
Calming, swaying movement
As I think only of you
The breeze blowing lightly
In a garden where I muse
How it is you can defeat me
With your methods of abuse
Flower petals now falling
To the ground where they will fuse
Into everything that is wilting
In this person you rebuke
With words that dig so deeply
Meant only ... to confuse
And lead me to destruction
Where my remnants may be used
To feed a hungry garden
With your bitter bitter food

A neat little write, Eugene. (My oblique way of giving a tick).
However, because I have very little talent or understanding of metaphor, I'm always unsure... I half feel this could be about a failed relationship (popular topic on MPS) or about a carnivorous plant.
On the theme of plant your pic. took me down a rabbit hole and I ended here:

Thanks, but I'm not sure I'll sleep tonight...
😅😅😅
More sarcasm than anything, but I've seen a lot of relationships in my days - my own and others. The pic was an afterthought. Thought it drove home the sarcasm nicely. Hope I didn't do too much damage - not intended. Thanks for reading.
