Why Should a Rose Be Red
Why should a rose be red?
Danger, caution, blood.
Why should a rose mean love?
Heart break, betrayal, lust.
Why should I have listened?
Naive, young, a fool.
Why should I have believed?
Ignorance, fear, hope.
Why should you be dying?
Revenge, justice, hate.
Why should I follow?
Remorse, guilt ... pain.
