Her ceiling is a garden of dead roses. A faint draft stealths under the door. Sets them swaying. Laying on her floor, she looks up at these floral corpses, and inverts her world. She is an underworld godess reigning over the casualties of love gone bad. And hovering in her carpeted sky, she can see that the petals gone hard. Like her heart. Hardened, yet somehow more fragile. And like those petals, hanging from their plaster ground, she is ready to fall. Though she tries to ground herself with rage. And thumb tacs. And twine. "A bit of practical distance," she lies, "may do me some good."

I hate to tell you this, but you're closing in on being, how shall I say, "literary." I read this one as though it were poetry and I think it works quite well. Have you thought about arranging some of your thoughts as verse rather than strict prose?
You have some terrific imagery in this one, especially the way the petal (and heart) become brittle as they harden.
just a thought.

just to give you an idea of what i mean:
Her ceiling is a garden of dead roses.
A faint draft
Stealths under the door
And sets them swaying.
Laying on her floor,
She looks up at these floral corpses
And inverts her world.
She is an underworld godess
Reigning over the casualties of love gone bad.
And hovering in her carpeted sky
She can see that the petals have gone hard.
Like her heart.
Hardened,
Yet somehow more fragile.
And like those petals,
Hanging from their plaster ground,
She is ready to fall.
Though she tries to ground herself
With rage.
And thumb tacs.
And twine.
"A bit of practical distance," she lies,
"May do me some good."
