Blood

Falls

And Stains

A White rose petals

The thorns

They sting

Yet

The rose is still pretty

Stained red

Still gorgeous

The hand creeps up my chest

Grabs my neck

And squeezes

My Stomach in knots

A lump in my throat

Tears in my eyes

My face getting paler

The darkness consumes

It leaks out of my eyes

My nose

My mouth

My Ears

I am nothing

I am the darkness

So delicate

Is the rose

Featherly touches

Must not damage

Prick my fingers

With its thorns

Stain the petals red

Dunk the stem in water

The water turns pink

Too late

The rose is dead

Plucked and cut

Wilting and suffering

Slowly turning brown

The petals fall

One by one

Till nothing is left

But the crumbles of one's walls

The thorns

They stay

Forever pricking

Sharp edges

Bruised mind

Thrown away

When the beauty is gone

Life

Leaves

For another

Rose

To

Kill
