Chapter 10: love & lies

bloodredroses | poetryWords: 1087

iridescent, those eyes

all they ever see is lies

euphoria or despair

are all she ever knows,

walking these old brandnew roads,

with clothes so dark, but skin so fair

they say green eyed demon, blue eyes angel

no time for those brown eyes -

all I ever see is lies

everything that is unknown

can't be truely loved,

when for them you're nothing, but what you own

so she can't trust in anything,

sometimes not even in what is shown

collecting nightlights, walking home

with a blurred vision,

to keep going when you're alone

has you make one decision

if all that's alright,

you'll cut up roses

and paint their petals with blood,

placing them in poses

just to make up for all

the fake love and the falls.

I know this one is kind of cryptic, but I wanna leave it up to you for interpretation, it can be anything you see in it. I wrote this long ago like in 2019/2020 I guess and I just stumbled across this recently again and really wanted to publish it.

Definitely let me know what you think! (ps: I really wanna publish some happier poems soon too, so stick around please)

xo, S🌹❤️
