Petals and thorns.....ashes to ashes

Eclisse

 

Tell

        me

                to

                      stop

 

 

Force me to let go

 

                              Holding on is self hatred

 

An indirect self hate crime

 

                              Gathering thoughts that penetrate my quiet

 

I keep spinning around in circles

 

 

Do

        you

                see

                        me?

 

psst

 

          Over here...

 

I'm hidden among the roses

 

                    Lost in these heavy vines

 

The petals cover my eyes

 

                      The stems coat my arms

 

The thorns bleed my skin

 

If you cannot see me

 

 

Then

          Look

                    Closer

 

See me now?

 

My blood is the crimson of those

                                                              sweet 

                                                                            velvety

                                                                                            petals

 

Perhaps

 

 

A

        Rose

                    Amongst

                                  Roses?
