We pull apart
The petals
Of flowers,

And all
In the name
Of love.

But if it's true,
And our lover
Loves us not...

Do we become
The flower?


A little girl strides over,
Her face a river of tears
As she picks us up -

She begins to tear us apart,
Petals of an innocent white,
As she sobs in a saddened rage -

One by one, we're torn like skin,
Feeling the pain similar to that
Of the scars on her picking hands -

Carefully, we fall to the ground,
Splattered with our blood of life,
Put in the place of our murderer -

And as she finds her answer,
Realizing that he loves her not,
We are left to rot like a broken heart.
Inspired by forever-a-failure's poem "Crimson Kisses."
"We pick and kill flowers because we think they are beautiful"

I strongly suggest that you check out her poetry. It's wonderful.
