how can something so beautiful
fall into the hands
of something so evil
a precious rose
meant to be cherished
but then soiled hands began to
pluck the petals off
day after day
night after night
until there was nothing left
but a bare stem
covered in thorns
that bled every night
from the touch of an impure man.
