Blue Rose

My heart, sad. A blue thorny rose. 
Poisoned petals, cold. Food for crows. 
Cheating from afar, 
promises promises, how weak. 
Liar, sliced, split among the creek.
and yet here we are.

' Cheating from afar, and yet, here we are. ' Such a difficult pill to swallow. It's the battle between, loving so deeply, to, I can't do this anymore. Your thoughts curl gently around my heart. ~ Brandy
