Roses

Did you fall down the rabbit hole?

Did you paint the roses red?

Did you finally make love to

the monster in your bed?

 

Did you scrape your nails on the board?

Did you you make it scream?

Did you wake up in the morning

loving your bad dream?

 

Do you dance to your suffering?

Do you sing to your pain?

Do you inject yourself with mercury

just to keep your soul sane?

 

Did you bite the snake?

And then eat the apple in spite?

Does the darkness sit inside you

until both are freed at night?
