The Dirty Dozens

A dozen roses
A thousand thorns

A dozen apologies
A thousand insincere

A dozen blessings
A thousand curses

A dozen gifts
A thousand traps

A dozen kisses
A thousand bruises

A dozen caresses
A thousand aches

A dozen praises
A thousand insults

A dozen truths???
A thousand lies

A dozen arrests
A thousand “gotaways”

A dozen heavens
A thousand hells

A dozen excuses
A thousand abuses

Such is the love he shows her,in
The dirty dozens
