Thorns

Beautiful rose, she lies alone,

Surrounds herself with thorns

Won't allow herself to love

Her heart can take no more

It's frozen now

She lashes out

At the world so cruel and cold,

Yet mourning is her soul



Then one day he comes along,

Reaches through the thorns

Watches blood spill endlessly

As his flesh is torn

Yet he loves her



He offers her his hand,

She throws fire at him instead

Yet he loves her

And with it, melts the ice around her heart



Into the light he pulls her,

Knocks down her walls,

And clips away her thorns



In the sun she is at last

For his bravery,

For all his love,

He is the first to hear her laugh

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is for those who aren't afraid to reach out; those who see past the thorns
