Life is a rose, a red rose whose stem drips with blood

A rose with many thorns saturated with blood

The petals fall away one by one, coated suddenly in blood

A bloody, bloody rose

To find happiness you must bleed

And when you find it, it will fall away and you will bleed again

Life is like a rose, a bloody, bloody rose

It is my blood on the thorns

I have never found the petals of the beautiful flower

All I have found are the thorns, the thorns that drink my blood

Do the petals exist or will they fall away

Suddenly bloody, suddenly redder than a rose

Blood red, will they not fall?

Life is a rose, a rose that seems to only hold thorns

No petals of sweetness, no petals of happiness

Only thorns of life

Life is like thorns that never end

Thorns drunken with blood

Thorns that cut and pierce and drink without caring

Without ceasing, without fail, without pausing

Thorns that are covered and soaked with my blood

Where are the petals, as fast as they fade?

Must I be bled to death with only the thorns of life?

Does not life have petals?

Or is life only the thorns, the bloody, bloody thorns?

The thorns that do nothing but kill?

Life is like a rose, a red rose whose stem drips with blood

I have found the thorns

But not the

Petals

"Getting ready for tonight?"

"Oh, Zavier! You startled me!"

"I know," he replied, coming up behind and gripping her shoulders, then bending down to whisper in her ear. "Seeing as you were thinking of me."

She stiffened. "I hate it when you do that," she hissed.

"Mmmmm. Sorry." He was breathing down her neck.

She shivered, but not in disgust or fear. "Stop it."

"Why? You're enjoying it."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Dee too."

He chuckled. "I don't have to read your mind to know." His hands began to travel down her chest.

"Stop. It. Now."

"I can't have fun with my own slave?" he asked, but he stopped.

"That's not fun."

"Liar. You'd like to be that close to a werewolf and have that kind of fun with him, wouldn't you?"

"I won't ever know, because I'll never get the chance to go after any man, werewolf or no, with you around," she replied, turning around in her chair to face him.
