I Will Fold My Petals, Now

Pages are falling,
   Words are floating down, away;
      Blood is dripping from my soul;
Cannot take the pain,
    Of unkind words and sharp swords;
      The petals of my rose fold.

Inside, I will dwell,
  Safe from all reality;
    Where I will not feel the stabs;
I will dip my pen,
  And write poetry in blood;
    Oh, so broken is this heart.
