I see a rose of color red,
an ornament for the dead.
It covers thy coffin
and says what's unsaid.
I see it lying on my grave,
my tombstone of memories-
full of happiness and rage.

Its' thorns are of madness,
driving all who touch away.
Its' color attracts the innocent,
unaware of its' hate.

It lies on my memories,
warding away those who would see.
It protects and it hurts,
It's sharp to all,
but forever it works.

I see a simple rose of red,
guarding the memories of all the dead.
