Flesh soft and delicate as a petal
Emotions deep and strong as metal
Eyes of blue with the light of stars
Beauty that could conquer Mars
He walks with an air of superiority
Talks with a voice of authority
Thinks that he is invincible
He is inconvincible
Hands that hold a rose stem tight
Gripped hard with all his might
But beads of blood remind him
That he is only human
Soft flesh will tear
Deep emotions tax and wear
Blue eyes allow him to cry
And with time beauty will die
It is always important to keep in mind
Immortality is impossible to find
Yet it seems that only when blood falls
People receive a wake up call
Something as innocent as a rose
Can find a way to cause us woes
Don't believe humans rein the best
We are just as vulnerable as the rest
Even with beauty to conquer Mars
Eyes that hold the light of stars
Emotions that seem as strong as metal
Our skin is still as soft as a petal
