A Dead Rose
I saw you red and fresh in the morning;
So pretty, so blush and so full of love.
Now I stand by you all alone, just mourning,
Wishing we could go back in time, just to see you alive.
See, I'm just like you in a way.
Used, misused and mercilessly thrown away.
We both look strong, spiny and self-centered,
But behind, fragile, fragrant and soft hearted.
Only if they saw what hurt us both inside.
I can't stand to see you this shattered.
Your lips brown, leaves dried, petal scattered,
Crumpled and twisted, just like I am.
I swear when I took you to him, I meant you no harm.
You bled to death for me; a martyr of my love.
Now it's my turn to follow you; I'll become your eternal love.
As I see my blood reddening you again,
I feel the ultimate sleep in my eyes and there's no more pain.
Only if they knew what killed us both outside.
So pretty, so blush and so full of love.
Now I stand by you all alone, just mourning,
Wishing we could go back in time, just to see you alive.
See, I'm just like you in a way.
Used, misused and mercilessly thrown away.
We both look strong, spiny and self-centered,
But behind, fragile, fragrant and soft hearted.
Only if they saw what hurt us both inside.
I can't stand to see you this shattered.
Your lips brown, leaves dried, petal scattered,
Crumpled and twisted, just like I am.
I swear when I took you to him, I meant you no harm.
You bled to death for me; a martyr of my love.
Now it's my turn to follow you; I'll become your eternal love.
As I see my blood reddening you again,
I feel the ultimate sleep in my eyes and there's no more pain.
Only if they knew what killed us both outside.
