Roses.

I was brilliant
like picking a stubborn rose
and pricking my lovely fingers

I was gentle
like stoking a soft, dying rose
with my lovely fingers

I was dead
I buried the rose
soil on my lovely fingers.

"How could you?" I asked her- she bandaged my pricked fingers.
"How could you?" I asked him- he put my dying rose in water.
"How could you?" I asked myself.
