your words cut deep
~
beautiful
i thought
like a rose
~
but when i let you near
your touch felt sharp
stinging
like thorns
digging into my skin
and so i let myself bleed
even though in my heart
i knew
you were bad for me
dangerous
but i couldn't accept it
the heart wants what it wants
my gut knew
my mind knew
everyone knew
but i couldn't see it
blinded
by rose coloured glass
love feels sweet
and i thought you could be
when really
i couldn't sugar-coat
what was underneath
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
but you smell toxic to me
the heart wants what it wants
and so i let it
and it destroyed me.
