Roses Grow Where Death Soon Resides

Something so delicate,

           A single dainty rose,

Grew into a garden we couldn’t keep track of.


There were suddenly more thorns than leaves

       And blood trickled

Onto the mahogany ground they sprouted from.


How could something so beautiful

               turn into something so painful?

This piece is about an abusive relationship I was in some time ago, and how it started off amazing but quickly turned painful.
