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 "getaways".



A dozen heavens.
A thousand hells.



A dozen excuses.
A thousand abuses.



Such is the love he shows her in
Dirty dozens.
