A Rose For You

By ReddropX

I hope you like it
I've spent hours
Trying to find
The perfect flower

I hope the color
Will be ok
It’s fresh and red
Bloomed earlier today

I hope the color
Won’t fall or run
In my white empty room
Lit by the mourning sun

I've spread plastic
All around
Just for that
Very reason

This rose
Shows my love
And sorrow
I hold for you

This rose
Is from me
And a part of me
I gladly give to you

For you see
This simple rose
Is a blood rose
Born from the dead

One bullet screamed
Through my lonely head
One brilliant bloom
Drips blood red

This is
My last
Gift
To you
