The Violets are Dead

Roses are red, violets are blue
Sugar is sweet and so are you
But the roses have wilted, the violets are dead
The sugar bowls empty and your wrists are stained red
The sun isn't shining, the sky isn't clear
There's no silver lining cause you're no longer here
Rain keeps on pouring, there's no end in sight
You're laying there frozen, so far from the light
Your beauty's unreal, your smile the sun
But time can't be turned nor your actions undone
The words you wrote that only I read,
"I love you so much; please don't cry when I'm dead
A bond we formed, love that ran deep
A pain we shared, a friend I could keep.
I wanted to hold you, wipe the tears from your eyes;
Been there the moment you said your goodbye.
I want to forget, but most times I can't
I want to let go, but I know I won't
Tears on my face, memories burned in my head;
The roses have wilted, the violets are dead.
