i was a rose
with delicate crimson petals,
and pin sharp thorns
radiating extreme passion
and deeply rooted pain
to those who stumbled upon my presence
i was a rose
a physical representation
beauty, promise, lastings
despair, torment, endings
but i still yearned for love
to be watered, allowing growth
but i was drenched with tears full of angst and fragments
of those who have hurt you before
i was a rose
you didn't have much of a green thumb
and that was okay

I'll show !
And you tell !
And sometimes   I can't tell !
And when the showing is telling,
and the telling is showing,
I can't make hands nor tails of this
entire whole game !
Tell me what I show !
Show me what I tell !
The class applauds !
But then the class is silenced !
And in where in which, in each of there and this, does my lies amiss ?

And are we to subsist away from the realities of bliss
where every of note
is either just a hit or a miss ?
A miss that is a hit ?
A hit that is a miss ?
Then where do we resist ?

And then why does your gravity send me a kiss ?
Is it because my skin reeks of its
deprivity ?
Its lack from that plan to longevity ?
longing lastings of the lasting
longings ?
the fasting of the wrongings done to
the passing belongings ?
