Roses and Violets

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Thoughts in my head

Always of you

Roses are red

Violets are blue

When I had bread

I also had you

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Tears that we shed

Together we two

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Lies that you fed

Keeping me true

Roses are dead

Violets are too

Blood shining red

Once it was you
