about her scars,
She forgets
how many bandages
it took to stop bleeding.

Sighing at the bulging belly, she mourned at her unusable wardrobe, the gowns were crammy, the frocks didn't match and she sulked at her dismal state as she swivelled and turned to browse through the saggy chunks disrupting her appearance.

We are poets.
We bleed in verses,
And leave stains
On paper and hearts.

Choosing your CAREER / PROFESSION is like plucking a ROSE,
if your are not careful THORNS will leave you Bleeding.

the person who made it bleed.

~Rose~
You always
Gave me roses
The red ones.
Now I'm
Returning
Your love,
By bleeding
The same red.
