roses

Reliant on the roses,
Flowering in their bed,
Each petal unfurls,
Red, Red, Red.

More than one,
Two, three, four,
Crammed together,
No room to breath,
Dead, dead, dead.

Crying and shouting,
Slitting the skin,
Slitting the eye,
Shout and then cry,
Cry, cry, cry.

Grabbing to save,
Hurting through,
Deeper than deep,
Crave, crave, crave.

Fuzzy on the screen.
