blood.
I hate the
color it has.
such a strange
part of us.
it's only a natural
element of our being.
Roses represent an
love and romance.
I do not believe in
the hatred of our world.
love is
for us,
a beacon of hope.
Death is
scary.
Why must blood be red?
Why must the rose be red?
pain.
Red is the color of love and
agony.
Love is
warm.
Pain is
cold.
Blood is
red symbol of despair.
A rose, a
gift of love.
a true
gentleman carries a rose
for his love
"though it rots
it will not die"
I look into
the mirror
blood covers
the thorns on a rose.
Love is
freedom from the chains of torment.
nothing hurts more than
pains of heartbreak.
feel these
from a bleeding heart.
sorrow
or enduring the torture of
loneliness.
I dealt with
little of this.
I knew
the truth in love.
Lies are only
the thorns of a rose.
See beauty in
myself.
I hate
looking at the ****** rose.
read from the top, down then from the bottom line up.
This is my first try at a reversible poem, and I liked how it turned out.
Personally, I've always wondered why both love and evil are represented by the color red.

you took my roses
and left your thorns
they sting every time
I hear you've moved on.

Let me go

It hurts

To be in your rose bush

The thorns

Are drawing blood into my throat

And it bubbles out of my mouth

But I can't see it

Because your beautiful roses

Are blinding me

I am a Rose
I might be small
Might look fragile
But I have some thorns
Definitely not afraid to hurt you back
But I am always fighting
Might not look strong
I am beautiful
I am a Rose
I
Am
A
Rose
You are just as beautiful and strong as a Rose
Your brother jo. Well Madison's brother but soon to be your brother. I wanted to say I'm super ******* sorry for treating you guys like a bag of ****. I've come along way. You gotta understand I got into the wrong crowd young and was heavily influenced by bad **** early on.
Alot of that was repressed sexuality and struggling with my identity. It wasn't ok to be gay or bi in my circles back than.
So I bottled alot of **** up. I just gotta say my sister could not have chose a better guy. And I know your very loyal and loving to my sister. It's not easy for me *** me and maddy have a bad past and I always try to mend the bond but alot of the time before I would build up a trust just to **** up and burn it down. I really love my sis. And if you could do me a favor. Is remind her every day that theirs beauty in all things. Even the bad and unsightly things. That theirs beauty in her craziness. And never let her forget that your touch and your kiss is a promise. A promise that as long as you two are together you will find each others hearts in whatever trials life may offer. Seeking her hand for the joy and stability she brings you. And the rugged honesty and willingness to grow you so earnestly show her. I pray that my mushy gushy text reminds you that although I am sort of an outsider in this family I have a huge heart. And just like theres beauty in a rose
There too Is beauty in the thorns. And remember If anybody ***** with either of you. I got your back. I can sense your Leary of me. Kind of rigid. Hesitant and a little bit timid around me. You shouldn't be
You should always remember that I  got your back. And that your a ******* Gablehouse. Take that wherever you go.
And hopefully you can get to know me and I can get to know you. K goodnight bro. Love ya lots.
Texts to my brother in law. At 4 am. Listening to the hot tub jets in the green house and feeling like this particular text needed to be shared. Idk why. Maybe some things are better left off the internet. But I thought this was extremely profound and sincere so what do I do? Make it public like the ******* beautiful narcissist I am
She was in love with love.
To her, it was everything.
Nothing dared to venture off above.
At best she was a fragile puppet on a string.
A beautiful rose may leave you torn.
It was too late.
She had already been pricked upon many-a-thorn.
And then the salty tears from her eyes had begun to sting.
Regretful orbs couldn't help, but glance upon the red glove.
Love wasn't at all what it was supposed to be.
This so-called love is a boy.
Why can't she see?
To him, she is only a toy.
Her mind is lost out at sea.
His cuddles and kisses were a decoy.
She's free, but not really.
He was everything, and that is what she gave.
Now she is nothing; for it was given all away.
Love was her life...now love is nowhere in sight.
What more is there to say?
She put up a fight; brave.
This girl was someone that not even love could save.

a poet's pen
with scarlet ink
paper thick
for blood to sink
roses fill
the empty space
while tears fill up
in the poet's place
these shadows offended
they tease and they taunt
petals fall
as the roses fought
their darling dear
their poet's fear
as the shadows were out for blood
a poet's own
to draw it from
skin pale like a rainy day
fiery hair
tangled in thorns
a poet's pen
in a poet's corpse
inspired from some outfits i saw. Enjoy ❤
