Velvet Rose

by IFollowMitchell   Jan 29, 2009


As if a single petal got plucked from a gentle velvet rose
her fragile heart was torn out of her chest
though it wasn't a brisk tear, but a long-lasting, continuous tear that extended 10 long dreaded years
the constant pain
the abiding reminder
no limitation
no ambition
now desperate she inspects anything that would help improve her life
she doesn't find much
only a loaded pistol...which will have to due
