The carving of my thighs, my stomach, slashes across leave a trail of dripping rose petals, softer than a fluffy kittens fur. The scars of thorns on my skin. Displeasure melts through me smoother than the blade. While, anger creeps over my chest, it waits a minute or two before the burn kicks in. My lungs deteriorate at an alarming rate, to others, except me. I have always been one to notice air hates me, rejects me, whenever I take shaky breaths. The sensation crippling; ripping of veins that have long since dried out. Attempting to shout is just coughing up the left over sandpaper. Please stop trying to save me. I have a vessel with no more use; a stem with thousands of thorns and not a petal left to bloom.
