“A rose shook in her blood, and shadowed her cheeks.
Quick breath parted the petals of her lips”
Rose buds that reminded me of the beginning
Of the strawberry fields, frozen over
When the heat entered us
glasses fogged and hands burned together
With the cold world surrounding us
We could only live in the warmth
together
As the world continues to freeze over
The heat did settle and dissipate
Sometimes passion isn’t enough
Feelings beat feelings
Red begets violence and anger
Red becomes hurt
And enters hands in a new way
The world became colourless
as the two drifted apart
The winter won
The cold, white, dark
Would prove lone
to trampled the relationship
To cover the red
tear the heat
Leave the two with just themselves
And not enough shelter to survive
