#thorns
I’m not feeling how this one is turning out so I’ll probably try again from scratch.
How it goes sometimes.

OH my GoD, I just finished reading Rosen Blood and I’m already in love.
“You’re so beautiful,” says Whumper, playing with Whumpee’s tangled hair. “Like a little, broken angel. Did you know you’re the most beautiful thing I own? Look at those patterns your blood made all over your skin, you look like a piece of art. My own, little masterpiece. That beauty deserves everything… You know what, wait a second”.
Whumper disappears for a few minutes. When they come back their hands aren’t empty. Whumpee makes a quiet whine and pulls the ropes but they are too weak to even fight. Whumper approaches them and puts a finger on their lips. “Shhh,” they say, “You’ll look so amazing, like lying among the flowers”.
Whumper ties Whumpee’s hands and feet with a long, thick stem of roses. Whumpee screams when thorns cut into their bruised skin. Whumper tightly coils the stems around their arms, legs, stomach and chest and Whumpee starts to cry again. Heavy scent of roses fills the room, when Whumper takes a step back and with the tearful, delighted eyes admires their shaking, bloody angel. They can’t stop saying “so beautiful, you’re so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful…”.

day 10! besides the obvious beauty of the powdery pink blooms, i love the emphasis on the thorns that the roses have. all roses have thorns, and sometimes we pierce our skin with the hidden thorns when eagerly trying to pluck a beautiful flower. the carefully concealed pain behind the beauty is something i’m reminded of every day. was the beauty there to cover up the pain? or was the pain there because beauty cannot exist without pain?
