roses, roses

delicate red petals of silk

spun with such elegance and grace

falling through cracks of a heart

dissolved into nothing but waste


a satin hand held out her love

to a dark, beautiful angel

he gave a bouquet of flowers

and slowly began to crush souls


roses, roses, gorgeous and sweet

but every life dies, nothing's complete

scarlet droplets of blood bleed out

battered petals, sunk from a sprout
