Thorns can grow,

Roses,

 

Roses can grow,

Thorns,

 

Tigers can have blunt,

Fangs,

 

And even kittens have,

Claws,

 

Remeber the strength,

Of a word,

 

And the dull throb,

Of a curse,

 

Broken ties may,

Mend,

 

And mended ties,

May fray,

 

Open hearts,

May break,

 

Closed hearts may,

Look at stars,

 

But never reach for,

The skies,

 

The safest way to travel,

Is by bus,

 

But the views,

Are always grey,

 

And roses bloom blue.

ouch hope ashlynn never reads that. she would probably... i don't know but it wouldn't be good. and worst, the annoying voice in her head(that's totally right), would win. whoops, did I say ashlynn? i meant queen of denial.
