Roses are red and violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet and so are you.

But the roses are wilted and the violets are dead,
The sugar bowl’s empty and your wrists are stained red.

The sun isn’t shining and the sky isn’t clear,
There’s no silver lining because you’re no longer here.

Rain keeps on pouring and there’s no end in sight,
You’re lying there frozen so far from the light.

Your beauty’s unreal and you smile at the sun,
But time can’t be turned nor your actions undone.

The words that you wrote that only I read,
“I love you so much. Please don’t cry when I’m dead”.

A bond that we formed and a love that ran deep,
A pain that we shared and a friend I could keep.

I wanted to hold you and wipe the tears from your eyes,
Be there the moment you said your goodbyes.

I wanted to forget but most times I don’t,
I want to let go but I know that I won’t.

Tears on my face and memories burned in my head,
The roses are wilted and the violets are dead.
