red

(roses)

By Sara Published 11 months ago 1 min read

will you notice

the breath

missing from my chest

as i drown in rivers

of my blood

because your tongue

still dances

on my naked flesh

stabbed to death

with a million red roses

that only had thorns.

    With vivid writing like this, you're criminally underappreciated. This is an amazing piece!

    A rose stem with a dead flower only causes pain.
