    Dead Roses

     Dead roses falling around you
    Dead roses lie on the ground
    They've all turned from red to black
              Just like you

    We had our time together
    I thought it'd last for all time through 
    And I found myself falling for you

    Dead roses falling around you

    I told you how I felt for you
    You laughed right in my face
    You called me names
    You broke my heart
    And you fed me your disgrace

    Dead roses lie on the ground

    As you lay dead before me
    My bloody hands did murder you
    I'll take you down to the gates of hell
    Where you'll spend eternity through

    Dead roses falling around you
    Dead roses lie on the ground
    They've all turned from red to black
               Just like you

    Love thorns into vengeance. Dark indeed. They toy with emotions and they might get burned. The -red to black- line....I read it as meaning -life to deah- perhaps. As I saw it anyway. Liked how you brought the beginning back around to the end. Gave it a chant type feel. Like an echoing memory. A little short for my taste, but everybody's different. Well expressed

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
