Maria, 16
She’s walking home from school
So youthful, so innocent
Just like they like them
Next to her a car slows down
How peculiar, don’t you think?
Then something happens
A useless flower on Valentine’s Day
Red to paint her lovers name as tainted as the love he gave
Roses have thorns but men have blades
He grabbed my wrists and cut my veins
