Roses are red.

Roses are rose, Violets are violet

She capitulates to her elders
Who fear for her security
The match is set
Fire everywhere

Walking in a field of glass
Shimmering under the cold dawn
Reflections of the past
Tearing skin into shreads

She loves me
She loves me not

Doesn’t seem to matter
I pick up her shattered body
Walk to the river
She floats downstream

Where she is remembered
Awakened, redeemed
Warm sun caresses

Roses are red.
