Red Rose

I knew my future
It wasn't always clear
Wasn't always beautiful
One thing I was sure of

The words cut like a knife
Solid and true
You wanted the words to hurt
Found them perfectly

Congratulations
You did what you set out to do
I believe you have lost everything
That menacing smile that lingers on your lips

I hope it stays when you realized what you have done
I can handle hatred and harsh words
But those words I can not
When someone close to you says those words

You break
Shatter like a vase against a wall
What remains after the rain and pain
Is anger

Anger that the words cut at all
You were a friend
But those words not even an enemy would say
Who needs them when you have friends this harsh

Cruelty
There is a difference between honesty and cruelty
You crossed that line
Good luck with you life

I have no more words
Not for you anyway
To say I am no novelist
To say that I will never make it

You do not know the future
You do not know what destiny holds
Do not play god with me
You held my heart once

You can not play god with me
I wish you no ill will
But then again god is the only one to grant forgiveness
I will not so don't ask

You can't grant it yourself
This rose is deadly
So be aware
When you try to play god again

Because once this rose blooms you will see
How wrong you were
To try to cut away the flower
That had worked so hard to be a red rose
