Bury me in the roses
Crimson as the color of blood
running through our veins.
Come to me in dreams, my love
Come with your beaming eyes and vengeful self.
Come to me in dreams and seal with a righteous kiss our meeting;
Releasing me from my agony
Bury me with your most kind caresses
And still lingering fears
—You don’t have to say you’re mine, you just have to say I’m free —
Bury me in roses
and forget me
no more.
