Roses they did wonder
contradictory to their character
but love had they squandered
at the hands of a gifted actor
What a feat it was
to become an unexpected pawn
they came in red camouflage
from his hidden pocket like a weapon drawn
Now bathed in mistruths
and dyed black by misdeeds
dismissed of thier behooves
as tainted blood stains their leaves
The roses they wondered
in search of a new elucidation
for their job had they blundered
condemned by pains preservation
She rejects them like a plague
as thou they were poisoned by his lies
though their part in it vague
she blames them most of all for the tears she cries
Roses they wonder
in search of their redemption
as her screams do thunder
while they fight against her apprehension.
