Inspired by quote from City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare:"They'll [faeries] find out whatever it is you want most in the world and give it to you--with a sting in the tail of the gift that will make you regret you ever wanted it in the first place."
Thorns
I have a thorn in my heart.
It drives in deeper everyday.
The pain increases.
And my heart is swollen.
Love is tangible.
Like a moth caught in flames.
I have a thorn in my heart.
A faerie implanted it.
She said desire costs.
And so does love.
It hurts to hate.
But it hurts more to love.
I have a thorn in my heart.
It touches my soul.
The pain is involuntary.
It makes me bleed.
And so does love.
It destroys me.
I have a thorn in my heart.
It takes a bite out of it.
Like cancer that eats the body slowly.
It makes me hurt.
And so does his words.
They destroy me.
