A rose colored in swirls of pinks and soft reds,

with thorns of fear and regret on its stem

Words carrying heavy emotions

slip through her chapped lips

Forest green eyes focusing on the floor tiles underneath her feet

Disappearing one by one, ready to gulp the broken girl when the time arrived,

the thorns of fear and anxiety nipping at her hands, kissing the skin softly and brings up crimson

Staining the rose's petals

The bleeding stops as the words

D
  R
     I
       P

Off of his tongue

"I love you too."
