A recorded reading of “Thorns Where You Kissed Me”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
You kissed like bloom, but left me bare— a rose in ruin, a wound in prayer. I held your sun, then wore your frost. You planted me, then mourned the cost. And now I bloom in broken hue— a crown of thorns still shaped like you.
Lyrics
You kissed me soft Like prayer on skin But now I bleed Where love had been Your lips were silk But laced with thorn You left me dressed In what I mourn You said forever With your eyes But stitched goodbye Into the lies Now there’s thorns where you kissed me Petals fall, but don’t forgive You wrote me into your garden Then said I was too hard to live You bloomed in me Then broke me down A rose that wilted In your crown Now there’s thorns where you kissed me And I wear them like a vow Your hands were fire But left me ice A garden grown On sacrifice I gave you soil You left it salt Said love was fate Then called it fault I watered truth You fed me lies Now every bloom Is just disguise Now there’s thorns where you kissed me Petals fall, but don’t forgive You wrote me into your garden Then said I was too hard to live You bloomed in me Then broke me down A rose that wilted In your crown Now there’s thorns where you kissed me And I wear them like a vow You don’t see blood You see a stem But every bloom Remembers them Now there’s thorns where you kissed me And they bloom when I recall You made me soft, then used the sharp To make me think I had it all But love that hurts Is still a scar A rose remembers What you are
