Thorns And Blood

Thorns And Blood

I have known you all your life

You were so pretty when you were small

But, over time pretty turned into beauty

A beautiful face

A beautiful mind

And a beautiful heart

How could I not fall in love with you

Even though I didn’t look deep into you

I did truly love you

But, you beauty hid vicious thorns

Words created to do subtle harm

Actions meant to leave you soul bloody

No longer wanting to be with you

I do no one thing

You are worth evading the thorns

And my soul will survive

As long as I can be with you
