in the victorian language of flowers love lies bleeding means hopelessness flowers used to be sent as messages in a time when feelings were not allowed to be spoken those victorians in their stiff collars stifled in stuffed dresses hid their romantic notions in floral dictionaries floriagraphy was a form of poetry in a time when words that evoked intense feeling were considered improper outlandish eccentric although those times are long gone we still hide our tears choke on words if they have any meaning covering ourselves in layers that we spend a lifetime longing for someone else to peel away love lies bleeding is a flower for today as we watch the world die let's remember what beauty there is in hopelessness remember that floral offerings used to exist because humanity was so stilted and cold they had to create a new language so they would not have to speak the words they actually meant love lies bleeding is the flower given at the very end its red velvety blooms hang weeping like the person who receives them who undoubtedly knows there is no future
