Crimson Rose

She walks alone down the dusty road On a night without a moon She knows if he ever finds her That her life will end, too soon For now he knows of her infidelity That she's hidden from him for years She pulls her hair back out of her eyes And she wipes away her tears "I still love you", she softly mumbles As his car pulls by her side He says, "Get in the car, we need to talk" As he takes her for a ride He says, "I love you too, we can work this out" For he loved her way too much He reaches for her tear-stained hand Cause he's aching to feel her touch She smiles and take his hand Not expecting it to end like this They lean across the seat And embrace in a passionate kiss He grabs her wrist and won't let go As she sees the coming light He aims his car in oncoming traffic As he holds her, oh, so tight "Why are you doing this?, she asked He said, "Because of all of your lies" The last thing she heard him say Was "I love you" and then she dies It took them several hours To clean up the twisted mess When they found her husband's body He had her picture on his chest A note was found beside him That told of her affair It said if he couldn't have her He wasn't going to share Why it had to end like this? No one truly knows But the place where they found her body Stands, a crimson rose
