Bleeding Rose Petals~

The night before he beat her like

stone.No one knew she was heartbroken

little fragments of pain..

Head hugged in tear drenched pillows...

Lost.confused & soar....

she slept under hidden bruises.

Awakened through the bittersweet scent

of bleeding rose petals..

She lifted her hand too smell each one

Leading too where he stood...

The lovely couple everyone thought they

was....Behind the fake koolaid grin & his

millions.He withheld skeletons in his closet..

A insecure man...

In the mirror she stand looking at the

reflection of her wounded soul....

She knew he was dangerous & tried too

escape.He threatened too drop her..

Hundreds of feet she screamed for her

release...He agreed as long as she didn't

leave him & remain his bleeding

rose petals....

Reminds me of those beating scenes in Madea's Family Reunion movie. It's scary to know that this goes on everyday around the world.

I love this poem. Even though it didn't happen to you, it helps us to see how horrible any kind of abuse is and cannot be tolerated.
I'm glad this didn't happen to you!!
Great Write!
