Red Roses
I wonder how it will fell as
The cold metal of the gun
Meets my skull painting
The white walls red as
Mother's garden of red roses
Will she hate the site of red roses
After finding me lifeless or will she
Create a garden that would
Remind her of me in my room
Will it hurt like the throns of the roses
Will it be beautiful as her garden in the summer
Will l die alone in my room
Thinking of her garden of roses
Will l smile as she breaks the door
To only kneel besides me because
I wouldn't want to die alone
Will l feel warm as she holds me in her
Arms praying for my soul to stay a little longer
Will l ever be able to sleep after l have
Slept in my mothers arms with
Her tears washing away the red
Paint on my face
Will she love the colour that would
Stain her hands as she holds on
To her little girl or will she burn
Everything that is red as her roses
