The petals fall from roses in bloom

The scent so fragrant it fills the room.

The thorns so sharp they pierce the skin

And spill the blood from the life within.

A dozen roses of the deepest red,

Sent to the woman who lays in my bed

For she is the blood that courses my veins

My reason for living and bearing the pains.
