laying in your arms

i was a red
red
rose

i suppose

you've heard these words before
i sigh and reply
and so it goes

"he's the one my heart beats for."

i suppose

he's the one i was made for

i suppose

he chose

me too

if only i knew

i was

to bloom

at the brim age of twenty three

acted like i enjoyed big words
chrysanthemums aren't a thing like me

i change my reasoning
for now

i suppose

i am to be

a red
red

rose

i just hope he chose me

i just hope he doesn't loathe me

i just hope he knows me

i just hope he grows me

like a rose

in his arms i closed my eyes

in his arms i died

my bad, I do that sad shit way too much

call me rose

and i'll be your rose

i suppose

so long as you don't

make me bleed

i won't make you

if you don't make me

please see me delicately

though it is known to be an unpopular belief

according to my prose

i have only shown to be mean

but please

i am none of the things i used to be

i see irises in your eyelids like irises i grow in my garden

i stared at them

i imagined what it would be like to have you all of the time

sigh

i can't do this right?

i'm not supposed to be here

but let me stay the night

a thousand sheets stained red with my innocence

i look at you...

i wonder what you'll do with it

i want to crawl underneath

i want to hide away or hide with

for now i'm just not sure what to think

i'm not supposed to be here

it always starts that way, doesn't it?
