I Prefer Lilies
Heavy doses of carnal passion
Heart incinerating bursts of deceptive attraction
Blinding you with beauty, ruining you with scorn
Lacerating your soul with every unforgiving thorn
Accompanied by "I love yous" by romantic, harlequin valentines
It's your flesh upon which this lustful demon dines
And you may be stricken breathless by bright red
But that color decays and black means you're dead
It'll kidnap your heart
Rip your love apart
So beware
Do not follow the glorious path of pedals, for you don't know where it goes
Never trust the magnificence of a rose.
