I really like this.

The verses that are in italics really add to the piece.

I especially love: "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet,

but I highly doubt it'd hold the same shock when that

perfect rose (by any other name) causes you to bleed.

Thorns, my darling, cannot be disguised.

And that's what you are... a thorn in my side.

(and I mean that in the worst/best possible way.)"

and

"I'll leave you alone to your inevitable failure.

(you can insert malicious laughter here.)

And, believe me; I'll be laughing all the way."

Excellent word choice. The ending sounds so threatening. Great piece!

I love this ending, you sound so confident, scary almost. I like it.

Keep it up.
