We know that things are never what they seem
Take you, take me; observe the flaming rose
Reach out to take her: beauty, when you see
And know upon the edge of which you stand:
Be it may a curse on which men lie
Temptation was not without its own flaw
To warn you, warn me of repeating allure
The rose too has a coat of blood dipped thorns
Perfect, pleated, pressured, and preserved
Yes sir, you too may keep a part love
In its light of unperfected trust
One sided attraction is all that ever was
In the first stanza, the word "you" is used a few times, and I think it's meaning has changed. (Talk to me about this in class).
