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
