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
