Roses are red
You died.
Yesterday in the garden, I watched
you
fall.
Your deep red blood soaked the ground, feeding the flowers with what was left of your
life.
The sun went out and I cried out for salvation,
as if God could save me.
Evil hues filled the sudden night and I was silenced with cold fingers tracing my spine.
Slowly I heard a sword slide out of its sheath and pierce my frantically beating heart.
My blood poured from my chest as I laid beside your corpse, turning the
flower petals
red.
As the old poem goes:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I am now dead.
And so
are
you.
