Blood behind roses,
Pain echoing the shutting doors,
Lies coloring every tone,
Shadows of kisses,
And hints of wane smiles

Once, it was
Beautiful

I like the tragedy behind it all and after every line, I paused and illustrated a tragedy to fit the line in my head. I love the thinking behind this poem.
