A red rose


She is a red rose wrapped in barbed wire
selling her love letters on the corner of the street
for a shot of Tequila.

Tears will roll down her face
and pain will burn in her heart

Alone i will cry for her
In the dark i will cry for her

And the world will spin another day
and they
they will not understand

Only I.

a lonely pained feeling is what i pick up on, sometimes we really don't need words or an explanation to just link to a feeling or mood... just being there and seeing does it... this poem made me think the feeling of noticing from a distance and seeing this person's heart, beyond the surface, is what happened here... really poignant... the red rose wrapped in barbed wire is fabulous imagery... another thought comes to my mind, also made me think of many of the people i've met on the streets... "and the world will spin another day, and they, they will not understand, Only I"... that line makes me think the world doesn't want to see, or be bothered, and just goes on its day without wanting to feel for situations like this... being ignored and simply neglected altogether is what it makes me think of... there's my mind going hehe... ;) all around sensitive, and beautifully delivered :) *hugs* xx
