Murder of the Soul

Why would he choose a blue rose?
Heaven it's sickly color
I will pretend it's pretty 
For our anniversary

Oh! I understand his thoughts
Cobalt Blue my favorite___
How I enjoy my pink rose
You know one on the trellis

He did not know I was sad
He never picked up on clues
When he brought the blue rose home
Clueless or did he plan this

Plan to feed the depression
So that I would get in deep 
Deeper into the despair
Despair that leads to my death

deep despair is never really meant to happen. it happens this way through an unfixed problem, that is supposed to be mended...very sad. ~Always&Forever Lynette
