Bleeding Rose

I hurt people.

My eyes are sore from all the abuse
You see, I'm as deadly as the thorns on the rose
Snipping anything that comes near
Then watching the blood ooze, how nice it flows.

The bleeding rose, thats how they describe me
Because I turn everything into blood that I touch
Everything is like a red river to my eyes
Everything slips into liquid that I try and clutch.

I'm not a goddess or anything like that
I just make people feel the pain they ignore
My thorns just can't leave people alone
Teasing and testing leaving everyone sore.

Come and sail down my red river so sweet
Where all hopes and dreams become your personal foes
I wouldn't touch me unless you want to hurt
For I am everyones bleeding rose.

I bring them all down to my level
To drown in their own beautiful blood
Because in this world I am in, beauty is sin
And in this place your home is crud.

So be careful, I am the thorns on the rose
I feed your happiness to the lifeless crows
I make people seep untill they are all out of love
Because I am everyones bleeding rose.

no ..you never have thorns ..you beautiful rose
and if so they tickle ..never cause any pain
and if there is so much pain i gladly take it as my only joy
yet i know anyone who brings so much beauty when he sings the nicest words ..heavenly songs
could never hurt..those thorn are dear to me
i could catch them and never feel no pain
even if so much blood came out.. it must be the excess blood
my body never needs..like in ancient medicine when they used to suck blood
out of a patient body to get well..
so is your thorns are made to heal and not to cause more hurt
in any way i am ready for all kinds of horns coming from you
for i know you could never hurt..ha ha ..i am sure
wonderful..

Dark!
Well penned. I especially liked "Everything slips into liquid that I try and clutch."

So vivid!
yet so livid.
I completely adored this, very well written. I felt what you felt, or something like that.

Please, write more like this.

This is very good! Great choice for a picture too, it added to the dark feel of the poem.
A bit morose, but in an enjoyable way.
Thanks for sharing!
