Roses are red,
but these flowers are dead.
Violets are blue,
All this time I knew.
Withering and wilted.
Your thoughts were slightly tilted.
Lay down and closed your eyes.
Saying goodbye was no surprise.

The author's comments:
This poem could mean different things for various people. I wrote this for those who have seen people become warped by different circumstances, changing them into someone who you don't want to know. A dead man.
