She smiles
At it's delicate beauty
Studying it's every petal

She looks at the flower
Holding it tight as
She remembers her past

Her old house
Bushes of these flowers
Her dead mother's favorite

A tear falls on the ground
Then another
And another

She weeps
Her mother's favorite flowers
All gone but the one she holds

The flower's thorns dig
Into her hand
Reminding her of her father

He hits
Causing mother to drink more
Poisoning her

Anger burns through her body
More tears fall
Staining her satin dress

The flower falls out of her hand
On the ground
As she remembers the day

Her mom lets go of her hand
Limp in her own
Dad kicks hard on her back

She grabs the flower
Observing its long steam
All the way till its cut off end

She dries her tears
Trying to forget her past
But remembers once more

Father's car roars to life
She sits alone in the house
As her dad drives away forever

She stands tall now
The flower in her hand
She looks at her scarred arms

Pushing her memories back
Leaving the spot where she sat
Remembering the first day of self harm

The scissors in her hand
Stained with blood
She stares at the cuts and cries

She heads home
Flower in hand
Its her mother's favorite

A rose.
