Eternal strands of cruelty weave around
A fragile pair of hearts, with sorrow cracked
To brittle fragments. Twitching, they are bound
In razors, barbs, malicious wires packed
Between dead roses' crimson petals. With
The organs' palpitations, blood stained black
With pain turns love to hate. Her open pith
Lies holding out for him who brings her back
To innocence forgotten in the ash.
Yet when she thinks she's found him at long last,
Her struggles are for naught; once more she's dashed
To pieces; in her sea of tears she's cast.
Love she's promised, yet it evanesces
As swift as warmth from lightest caresses.

This was dark and yet light, and I liked that quality about this piece. The flower references helped a lot. They really added a lot of depth to this piece. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.
