Petals red like rubies
The smell so divine
But careful of its thorns
That one may recognize
...
A teenage girl
She lies in bed
Trying to calm
The storm in her head
...
Blood runs down my lip
The taste bitter-sweet
The taste of your skin
In between my teeth
...
Stuck on the ground
Despite how hard it flaps
It's wings won't seem to carry it
For even a lap
...
