A rose


A rose
 
with its
 
brilliant red  petals.
 
Silky smooth
 
texture  covered
 
in blood.
 
Lying on  the floor
 
abandoned.
 
She wondered
 
if he was the  one.
 
But feared
 
his rejection.
 
Didn't want
 
to be left
 
feeling  empty.
 
Drops of scarlet 
 
trickled down from
 
her trembling,
 
clenched hand.
 
Punctured by 
 
the dangerous,
 
inconspicuous,
 
thorn covered  stem.
