Roses are red
Violets are blue
I sit here thinking
Of a love so true

But the roses are wilting
The violets are dead
My heart is aching
My wrists are stained red

The sun isn’t shining
It snows from above
I’m lying here frozen
Thinking of love

A bond that we formed
A love that ran deep
A pain that we shared
A friend i could keep

Tears on my face
My wrists running red
The roses are wilting
The violets are dead

Whoa...that's really powerful. The rhyme and rhythm is very smooth, which is impressive.
