family of roses

we're just strangers
bound by blood
and confusion
and tragedy

tied together
left to grow as
a family of roses

thorns poking at each other
because we're only together
for the sake of beauty

you did care about beauty, right?

and as each petal
is plucked off of us
you pick your thoughts

deciding on whether
or not you love them

until you've forgotten
that you have
left us with stems
and buds.

- do you love us or do you love us not?
