The roses were red

The roses were red

The Roses were red,

this much was true

I lie here dead

all because of you

 

A pile of ash

is what I am

he got the cash

like I give a damn

 

The Roses were red

I once loved you

you and I are dead

what will you do?

 

A shot to your head

is what took you out

It's a shame you're dead

but I will never pout

 

The roses were red

stained with our blood

you and I are dead

it's soaking in the mud.

 

A shot rang out

on that fatal night

You were filled with doubt

until I ended our fight

 

Before you died

you took my gun

shot me in the side

in front of our son

 

The roses are red

stained with our blood

we'll always be dead

but I'll still have some fun

 

I'll watch you burn

I find that funny

You toss and turn

It will never be sunny

 

The roses were red

once upon a time

I shot you in the head

and dropped like a dime.

 

The roses are red

upon your grave

you see you're dead

and then you cave.

 

The Roses were red,

once upon a time

I lie here dead

I payed for my crime.

I like your style and rhythm, I know , it is dark though but it is the reality of life. Good work.

Very dark indeed, flirts with the twisted as well, awesome rythym and rhyme.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
