A Lovely Hell

She sits in roses, giving her hands to their pedals.

Pain for the pleasure she supposes, although she's awarded no medals.

Thorns are a pricking, the already vulnerable shell.

Her dreams keep her sailing, beyond the point from which she fell.

As a rose pricks it handler, her handlers seem to only prick her heart.

Gardeners in general are much more gentler, hers are handsome but have begun to rot.

Delicate as a rose pedal, she sees her frailty.

Rising from this lovely hell, leaving the roses for some better realty.

The estate in which she resides, is a place vacant of confusion.

Here there are no handlers, besides she'd rather have truth than illusion.
