rose.
he was like a rose.
not for the beauty.
simply adroit.
his words held the power.
captivating his prey.
just like a rose hiding the thorns,
he masked the betrayal.
black lies slipped out of his tongue,
so smooth, just like the petals.
black lies. oh, his forte.
petal by petal, take them out.
a lie by lie, cut their heads off.
the rose symbolizes love, they say.
tsk. he symbolizes terror, they say.
— luce.

i really love rose, the flower. but i think it symbolizes more things than just love. so, came up with this one. oh, i also wanted to give my own meaning and touch to it.
