Roses feed on blood. Ask any Rose grower; blood meal helps them bloom. Love is similar. For there is.no such thing as love without pain.
Your poem reflected this fact. Good job.

to hell with the rose
bring me all the sharpest thorns
let me be well pricked
bring me all the sharpest thorns
let me be well pricked

Excellent write. Happy St. Patrick's Day. May you only smell the roses and the pricks get washed away by a pint or two! : )
