“Roses”

Roses are red,

violets are blue,

sugar is sweet,

and perhaps so are you,

but the roses have wilted,

the violets are dead,

the sugar bowl is empty

and your wrists stained red,

the sun isn't shining

the sky isn't clear

there is no silver lining cause you're no longer here

Rain keeps on pouring,

there is no end in sight,

you're laying there frozen

so far from the light

your beauty's unreal

your smile is the sun

but time can't be turned nor your action undone

the words that you wrote that I only read,

"I love you so much please don't cry when I'm dead",

A bond that was formed,

a love that ran deep

a friend I could keep

I wanted to hold you

wipe the tears from your eyes

been there for thmoment you said said your goodbyes.

I want to forget but most times I don't

I want to let go

but I know that I won't

tears on my face

memories burned in my head,

the roses have wilted,

the violets are dead.
