scarlet roses rot and wilt
as your shadow passes by
rage runs with guilt
and a baby starts to cry
their blood runs cold
with every step you take
beaten, broken, and old
you cannot win for their sake
so long you have tried
but the people you seek
they scream and hide
too sad and too weak
a face without a name
no one has ever cared
you bow your head in shame
mouth trembling, nostrils flared
shivering and mad
not one has ever known
a love to never have had
and not once has been shown
you prepare for a fight
long waited over years
no bravery, no might
your eyes they swell with tears
and you cannot forgive
because the pain is too much
no way left to live
you'll die just as such
