Patching the Thorns

By Kati Frazier

I'm patching the thorns

until you come

back again.

The roses you left me

still sit quite alone

on my window sill.

And the bruises on my back

have been fading

sinc you've gone.

Sometimes I cry

that you've left me alone.

Even if it's for an hour.

Sometimes I die

when you touch me.

My blood stings like fire.

But you love me

with all your heart.

You said it, it must be true.

I know you need me.

You've let me know.

All I want is a rose or two.

And I'm patching the thorns

'till you come

back again.

The roses

on the window sill

have long since faded.

And the bruises

across my face

are stinging with my blood.

Your roses still had thorns,

and they dug

beneath my skin.

You screamed.

You hit me

cause I broke your thorns away.

And I'm patching the thorns

untill you come

back again.

Back Home!
