I am like a poisoned Rose

I look like it could seem

so sweet to hold me close

 

But let me break the

Skin and I will slowly kill

 

My blood will turn Love and Joy

To Guilt and Sin

 

I'm like a poisoned Rose

given to kill

 

Worn in death's left lapel

my scent is darkness and honey

thick summer heart

and verdant decay

 

Alabaster petals shine

my masculinity sharp thorns

 

I'm like a poisoned rose

leave me be, please don't touch

for I am a poisoned rose
