A Rose Dipped in Poison

A beautiful red rose sparkles in the sun

Losing its vibrant red petals one by one

As they fall to the ground we see

That the rose wasn't so sweet

The rose was stained with a violet poison

As it drips from the withering pedals

This beautiful flower of romance

Slowly dies as it's grasped by the devil

The last of the petals fall to the ground

As the sun begins to fade

The only question we think of now is

Why was this rose ever made?

My heart is covered by a veil of poison as well

As this story comes to a close

But I desperately hope

My fate isn't the same as the rose
