Red Rose

Let your deadly thorns cut through my veins,
Let my blood blend into your dark pedals,
Let your stem smother away my life,
Red red rose you threaten me,
 
Let your mysterious insides be hidden,
Let your darkness be filled with immorality,
Let your life be short and reluctant,
Red red rose you darken me,
 
Let your insides seep cold blood,
Let your keen thorns slice through my heart,
Let your leaves strangle me lifeless,
Red red rose you define me,
 
Let your pedals be burned by the devil,
Let your leaves wither to dry dust,
Let your stem snap like a broken bone,
Red red rose you amuse me.
