SHE MEANT TO KEEP IT
A single red rose, he had not even the  good sense to have it dethorned before delivery. This was his apology?
She had it sliced away leaving a scar deep within her heart. That was a scar she earned for her foolish trust. She meant to keep it.

    You say so much in so few words, Gillena. He is unworthy of her. She needs someone who will treat her with tender, loving care.

    The greatest pain is not the thorn, it’s the thoughtlessness. Excellent piece my ftiend.

    A very potent version of self inflicted pain. A lot of emotion in those few words. Well done!
