Bleeding Rose

You're such a rose But when you cry All the pain in the world fills your eyes And your tears look more like blood You'll drag our race through the mud. While we are here, You'll be abused When we are gone, You will feel used Through all the tears shed Through all the blood shed You're still a rose Such a beautiful bleeding rose

:) I like the way you interpreted this though. Art is very subjective. It was meant as a poem about the Earth and how we are destroying it but I can definitely see how you may think it is about someone who has been hurt. I actually have a poem I call bleeding rose part two which focuses on someone being hurt and mended
