beautiful, really
but glaring to the eye and
painful to touch.

her heart's bleeding crimson roses
because, how many times
has he done this
begging for forgiveness after

(a night of fun

a night of pleasure)
a night of hurt

a night of tears?

no, she really shouldnt accept those flowers

but soft and forgiving

weak and just so yielding

she does,

and

a week after

he comes with yellow carnations

and her heart's still bleeding crimson roses.
