A Rose Dipped in Poison


A Rose Dipped in Poison A beautiful red rose sparkles in the sun Losing its vibrant red petals one by one As they fall to the ground we see That the rose wasn’t so sweet The rose was stained with a violet poison As it drips from the withering pedals This beautiful flower of romance Slowly dies as it’s grasped by the devil The last of the petals fall to the ground As the sun begins to fade The only question we think of now is Why was this rose ever made? My heart is covered by a veil of poison as well As this story comes to a close But I desperately hope My fate isn’t the same as the rose
