I hope you like it
I've spent hours
Trying to find
The perfect flower
I hope the color
Will be ok
It’s fresh and red
Bloomed earlier today
I hope the color
Won’t fall or run
In my white empty room
Lit by the mourning sun
I spread plastic
All around
Just for that
Very reason
This rose
Shows my love
And sorrow
I hold for you
This rose
Is from me
And a part of me
I gladly give to you
For you see
This simple rose
Is a blood rose
Born from the dead
One bullet screamed
Through my lonely head
One brilliant bloom
Drips blood red
This is
My last
Gift
To you
