She was the thorns to my rose.
Touching. Pricking. Bleeding.
Yet she was stronger than most.
Crying. Screaming. Free.

Anyone who neared
would be caught.
Anyone who feared
and anyone who thought.

She would poke.
Shooting. Firing. Aiming.
Yet you would choke.
Faking. Blanking. Blaming

She was the throne to my rose.
Screeching. Fleeing. Bleeding.
One cut and I was left enchanted,
left loving, needing, and pleading.

But nobody could touch,
without the aftermath of blood.
