Red Hands
I love roses
They’re so pretty, just like you
Our toxic relationship
Makes me cry when I hold you
I am insecure, I know we won’t last long
Smile through my tears,
it almost feels wrong
All this pain and this fear
My heart isn’t so strong
I’m in love with your bright colors rose
Love at what cost?
You cut straight through my heart
Cut me into pieces
Cover my skin in incisions
Closer,
closer flower, close our distance
Even though I bleed
Smirk with blood
I will bear the pain to feel your beauty
