Raining Rose Petals

Raining rose petals
softly land on my
fingertips
Tainting my once clean
skin
Pressed against my open
heart
Feeding on my pain
Spreading across the
fear-stricken ground
healing
stealing
Cries for help muffled
by the overbearing rubies
Red rose petals turning
crimson
Liquid crimson across
my open chest
Ripping apart
what little is left
Dissecting the remains
of the corpse you
left behind

  1. Ooh very nice figurative language! I love how you used the color to express emotion!
