roses bleed

By scarlas29

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

the day i watched them blossom- into full bloom. all thru the day, they just came alive- the roses from you. a gift of love- that suddenly seemed gone, and i wanted to die. like our relationship a bloom- then torn, the petals fell, to earth. i hold a rose, squeezing the stem- thorns tearing flesh, an open wound- just like my heart. in a cloud of dust, you were gone from me- my heart fell and i collapsed. the roses bloomed, so fragrant and free- and i wanted to die cos my soul was empty. thru the day- i adored the blossoms, they reminded me of you- and the love we engaged in. the feelings were deep- then the screaming, the blame... how did we get here? why must this be? i know i am lifeless- a shell of me. left loveless & unneeded. i have my roses- and they start to bleed. they fade out & die- like a relationship i once knew. a hollowness swallows me, the dull aching corrupts me. how do i see? and i bleed w/the loss of me how do i see? and i bleed w/loss, help me see. the petals are falling- just like me.i want to make sure my feelings are very clear and the emotion is total agony of loss.
