My hands bleed for you

Dripping on this stony path

Clutching this bouquet


My voice calls for you

Screaming for you to save me

Burning out my chords


You are as lovely

The red portrays who you are

A soul burning bright


Do your hands bleed too

Covering the porcelain

Staining perfection


Above is beauty

Below naivety breaks

These roses betray
