Analysis of Red Flowers

Ayden Blose 2008 (Butler)



When the razor cuts me open
It bleeds red flowers
My pain is so beautiful
The blood is so pretty
Like wine flowing down my legs
My suffering is my angel
I know it sounds cliche but
Why does no one understand
This pain that I feel when I
Tear open my own skin
Is what saves me from heaven or hell
So let me bleed my roses
Let my admire my own beauty
Do not stop me when
I’m covered in red flowers and
My body aches from the cuts
I like me better when I am hurt
Let me bleed my flowery blood.
