Rose was Red
Violet was blue
Had she been born to contradict you?
Twin sisters at heart
Could not have been more apart
Push and shove
Had grown into grudge
Parental intervention
Was never enough
Rose had beauty
Violet had hate
It all began with weight
"Chubby"
"Fat"
"Plump"
Words spewed like venom
Had Rose really meant 'em?
Besides,
Violet decided enough was enough
Grin grew to scowl
Room filled with "ow"s
Blood dripping
Hands shaking
Push and shove only grew to grudge
Broken nose
Caused by Violets blow
Twins at heart
Could not have been more apart
Months to follow
Rose grew more shallow
Parties, Friends and boys
Violet could see no end
That's when it began
At night she schemed and planned
To her twin sisters demise
"Get rid of Rose and assume her life"
She whispered in the dead of the night
If only someone had heard her
Would she have decided not to take this further
Friday night
Their parents weren't home
Once more the twins were all alone
Words filled with hate
The fight only began to escalate
Hair pulling and slapped cheeks
If only a neighbor had heard the rucous
And intervened
Blood dripping
Hands shaking
A blade glistened red
Rose lay dead on her bed
Heart racing
A twin became one
Scowl grew to grin
Violet wins.
If push and shove had grew into love
Rose would not have withered away
