Roses

Would’ve never known, it had been beautiful all along. Love looked me in the eyes, through the pistil of a thorned rose. I slipped my tongue down evils throat. He thrusted a dagger to my heart. Pierced my flesh. No pain was felt,until all the love I held bled. I loved not knowing who evil was. We slept in the same sheets. The enemy was my safe haven. Fooled and taken advantage of. This enemy I held close, and cherished most. I allowed evil to feed me poison, from a dozen roses.
