you're like a rose.
that pricked me so gently.
a sweet tuck to my heart.
yet I didn't watch the thorns.
as they cut and tear.
blood pouring serenading burning my palm.
the Red vibrant color kissing me bitterly as I swallowed hard.
opening my hand I gasped.
wanting to cry but this sweet little pain it ached inside me.
my frown as the tears burned my eyes.
solemnly this reminds me of you.
how you left without a trace.
disappearing.
the love ripped outta place.
you tore my heart off the hinges
leaving only my ribcage.
leaving me bare.
this haunting ache that opened the hole in my chest.
a exit wound.
but the bullet is still there.
barely alive.
I breathe.
suffocating.
hyperventilating.
the love I didn't want to escape.
the love that feels like nothing but a dream.
such smiles of you they haunt me they chose to fade.
yet If I die tonight I will save my love for your ghost.
yet I'm sitting here holding this rose.
tightly till I bleed.
my tears caress the blood on the ground.
the taste of salt kissed my lips.
as I knew our love was no more.
