    you used the thorns to slit my throat
    you thought you wanted me after you read what i wrote
    i let you read what i let no other
    now you light the rose pettles
    watch the flames
    watch me smother
    you used the stems to gouge out my eyes
    you said you wanted me,
    but it to was a disguise
    i used the smell to remember your face
    theres not much to remember
    i never experienced your passionate embrace
    i dont remember if the pettles were pink,purple, or white
    i cant see you now, the flames are too bright
    i fear the heat and im losing my sight
    your no longer around and im trembling with fright
    i dont want to cry but i fear that i might
    tell me its a dream, i will wake up in the night
    i am going to be strong,i am going to try
    how come it was never asked who,what,or why
    the pettles are burning, my body is too
    you used the rose to kill me but still i have love for you
    the flames are high,there over my head
    i hear someone screaming
    its not me,im dead

    love is bitter sweet. it really is a drag when people are taken advantage of for there kindness and affection torwards one another. I can feel the pain you display in the poem for when you open yourself to another thru verse, thru your inner most secret emotions only to have them trampled on, it hurts. but it only stokes the embers of the coals of our life and we shine brighter than we ever did before

    What a wonderful response.
    I enjoyed it as much as the poem.
