Rosemaiden

By rosemaiden

Breathe in my petals
Choke on my thorns

From this muddy grave
I was born

Conceived from lust
Hatred and pain

Shines through me
My blood red stain

Beauty and tragedy
Contorted into one

I glisten in the moonlight
And sparkle in the sun

Many admire me from afar
But those who embrace me
Are left with scars.........
