Roses Don't Last

Bleeding heart, torturously slow

Nowhere to go, no trail to follow

Once a beautiful red rose

A sharp dagger in her hand, everything she says, goes


Her gorgeous petals began to wilt

The dagger she held is driven to the hilt

The trail gone, she pleads to die

All she wishes is to spread her wings and fly


Roses never last, though fake ones do

Pitch black wings spread, and then she flew

Her once innocent mind is rendered broken

Though many words remain, they are left unspoken


Her petals gone, her beauty dead

What is left to remain brings its dread

The lethal silver dagger holds a crimson gleam

Dripping in blood, it no longer has a silver sheen


No more innocence, that is long gone

A dreary light brings a new dawn

Because in her hands, the dagger is held

The fates of many are left quelled
