love and pain

Her love is a rare flower that only blossoms in the cold

Atop mountains insurmountable

beneath uncountable sheaths of snow

she basks in the tempests

 your chaos ensues

and clenches the thorns

 of the reddest of your roses.

Damned must be the man

who doesn't collapse at her beauty

Whose heart doesn't stutter

at the intensity of her obsidian hue.

She saw novels in place of faces

the stories that lurk beyond your eyes

a boy with a bleeding soul

not a villain clutching crimson knives.

It wasn't her fault

that she loved blindly,

unbudgingly, with no care

but inevitable it was

that one of her villains

will leave her beyond repair
