Briar Rose
Originally Written: December 6th, 2005
Red as blood
So soft and sweet
I stretch a hand
It's out of reach
I move around
I want it so
To have and treasure
This forbidden rose
Can't wait longer
I rip through the vines
Thorns drip blood
Leaving tortured lines
I can now caress it
Finally reaching my goal
But my touch is forbidden
A scream rips from my soul
I die from my wounds
The cursed rose gave me
Red as blood
So soft and sweet
