It is about the speaker's father coming home after five winters, bringing love poems for the family that the speaker simply can't trust. The father exclaims his 'love' but the speaker sees his father abusing his mother.

"and I saw his fist

fall so gracefully

against her cheek,

she swooned. "

"Swooning' in reality being fainting.

It then compares how the thorn to roses are like lies to words and the speaker comments on how he's seen love 'die'.
