🥀
As my tears tumbled
to the ground, so did the roses
that grew in my garden.
Plucked with distaste as my lips
bled as the crown of thorns
pierced my delicate flesh.
Roses
Never tasted so luscious
until you came along and
poisoned everything in your way.
You are nothing, but a rotten
disease that grows alongside
a rose, a pest.
Rose petals delicately carved
to your making,
poisonous they were.
As I drank a bottle of it
down my throat, and coughed
out my feelings and was left with
crimson-stained lips.
The truth hurt more than
words ever could, because of you
my rose garden withered and died.
As I watched it burn down to flames.
Ashes were all that remained of my garden.
My once pure heart turned maroon
the color of the darkest rose blood.
Poison filled my veins
A fire raged within.
And nothing could stop me from turning into the malevolent queen of your own making.
