Blood Roses

Blood Roses by Carrie Crocker

I will haunt your memory

Tired of the bull shit hassle

Call me bitch

Call me selfish

Don’t see my heart trying to 

beat in your hands.

I’m trying

trying so smooth

but I turn out coarse

This is me

This is my box

Take it or leave it

I’ll still be waiting on

St. Valentine’s street

For someone to send their love to me

If it isn’t yours

I’ll snatch the heart

Replace it with coal

And there will be no slight of hand

Oh no

No trickery here

It’ll leave pockmarks

In your palm

It will leave a stain

That you’ll never wash off.

And you will know ME

As I am forever!
