Just a Black and Blue Rose

my thorns do protect you
my petals do caress you
my stem does hold you
my leaves breathe with you

but i am just a rose

i am nothing special
compared to the angelic
self that is you

my petals colored black and blue
bruised from the life before you
and maybe my love you'll make me right

my thorns are my rage
my anger at those who have
hurt us both

my petals are the beauty
that i see in your eyes and scars
the beauty that comes with pain

my stem is our relationship
the backbone of my life
the one thing that keeps me upright

my leaves are your arms
clinging onto me tight
letting me know we are together

every hug
every kiss
brings us
one more
inch closer
to our
personal heaven
