A broken rose has a sharper thorn
An open soul saved to late
Picked apart and ultimately torn
I love the feel of rape

You learn to hate what you love
It sits before you smiling bright
The dullness of an altered state
The remenence of a prior life

Redundancy flirting with the mind
Waking up but never going to sleep
Take it one knife at a time
Kindred spirit falling to deep

The smell of a broken rose
Black and white it sits
Sharper the thorns always grow
A soul to tattered to stitch

The final plea of a fading star
When faith is gone
Scattered so far apart
I have to hold on

Pieces of me dead beyond repair
Rose pedals frozen cannot feel
Lost in a peaceful forest of dispair
Time forever stands still

No escape... I will always be there...

Don't quite know what to make of this, I hope the line 'love the feel of rape' refers to raping the soul or mind, not the body?
Excellent musings
