roses

roses
by Tori S., 15

Passion turns into compassion
Diamond rings on top of diamond rings
In hell there’s heaven but you’re my heaven on earth
You describe me as a rose
Temptations
I think you are mine
I want to wrap you up
Within my thoughts of you
I want you to read them word for word
Cover to back and back to cover
These thoughts that cross my mind
When I am in your presence it feels like time is in my possession
Passion turns into compassion
Roses
Is what you call me
Who doesn’t love a rose until my thorns pique
I poked you
I’m sorry
I can’t help it you make me nervous
Overwhelmed
My petals fall
There’s a difference between love and attraction
Time is of the essence
All the ones before you were a mistake or a distraction
You’re my heart outside my chest
They say love is blind but don’t worry
When you wake I’ll be right there
