Thorns of Love
By DarkBruce
Like a roseYour beauty could easily hideYour viscous thorns that dwelled inside,And nobody knows.Absorbed in your silken petalsI was oblivious to everything around me,When it was plain for others to see,That I was pierced by a spike stronger than any metal.As you wilted and your petals fellYour true nature was finally revealed.A lifeless twig with weapons more brutal than steel,And suddenly I was in hell.You had infiltrated my heartAnd invaded my mindIt was as though I had become blindAs your seeds of guilt ripped me apart.Your thorns had penetrated too deep.Seduced by an angel with beauty unmatched,I never noticed as I was stabbed and scratched.Now I can only escape you in my sleep.It was not until today while staring at the dark cloudy skyThat I realized you can only hurt me if I let you.So instead of being idle while you find more things to construeI will pull out your thorns and live with my wounds, Goodbye.
