roses and violets and hearts of glass

roses are red,

violets are blue,

what would it be like

if i hadn't met you?

roses are blood,

violets are veins,

would i finally feel alive,

or would i still be in pain?

roses are silent,

violets weep tears,

would i be gone,

or somehow still here?

roses in the twilight,

violets in the dark,

do you think i would miss

the beating of my

heart?
