Disastrous Love

Red Petals

The magic mirror on the wall

Said you're the fairest of them all.

Swift in beauty, kind in word,

You're nothing short of the heavenly bird.

And into my life, your love did creep.

The spoils of war your beauty did reap.

My heart no longer was loyal to me.

But enticed and captivated by thee.

My soul was taken by surprise

By feelings of warmth I felt arise.

For you had turned my heart of stone

Into one of love nestled in my bones.

I found myself the faint of heart.

And your rosebud love tore me apart.

Red petals to attract and hidden thorns to sting,

You make me scream and laugh and sing.
