Roses Are Dead

When roses stay red
you know their a lie
They make the broken
and small minded sigh

Beauty is perfected
To mend wounded dreams
But behind the act
Could he be who he seems

If the answer is no
keep far away
For the tempted spirits
Tend to stray

If the answer is yes
dont hold your breath
cause if you wait in the cold
You could catch your death
