A rose to be broken

I got a glimpse of
what could have been
Only to learn
What could not

The duality of hope and fate
In your strange eyes
And confusion planted
In insanely familiar patterns
How I love them!
How I hate them!

Why did I meet you?
Is this some kind of
Wicked game
To test my heart?

Under palm tree shadows
A shadow fell on my palms
And sudden desire
Arose.

There is a rose to be broken
But I prefer my palms being bloody
To my hands holding yours.
