I was so desperate to be loved that I grabbed you, holding you inside my heart where you stuck out like splinters, hurting every time I felt anything, every time I breathed I built my own coffin using all the memories I held of us, all the hurt with each ***** of the wood you purposeful shoved into me like the thorns on a rose, there is no beauty without pain but why did I have to get stuck. Was it because I held on too long? the trickles of rose red blood sliding down my finger, my hands - the same ones you held as you wished me well, wished me love and happiness you had no intention of providing I plucked you from the bush but you stared at me with the same wilted look in your eyes as these flowers had when they reached their expiration date, when we reached our expiration date

Love is Pain
