Rose Dagger

It all felt so sharp
When the dagger pierced my heart
Such a passionate pain
Only there is no foreseen gain
No light at the end of the tunnel
And now I have nothing to funnel
Into my work

Such a delicate thing
Caused all the pain
'Twas naught but a rose
I had seemingly chose
Into my hands my fate I put
When the rose I received
I felt so deceived
The beauty misleading
Its thorns completing
My collection of cuts
