Rose
"My love is like a red rose
It may be beautiful now
But my sharp thorns will hurt you
My love is like a red rose
Yes, I may be fragrant
But the closer you get, the more I’ll hurt you."
-Lee Hi
Darling rose buds bloom
Newborn angel unsullied
Snow white untainted
Darling rose buds bloom
Wrapped around unwary hearts
Fangs of vampire
Darling rose buds bloom
Painted red with trickling blood
Crimson burning skies
Darling rose buds bloom
Clinging where they leak of oil
Unmoved by fire
Weeping to red death
Set aflame by those in pain
Darling rose buds bloom
