Red Roses to My Dark Date.

Started a right I crossed a 0Called for AzraelHe took his time and arrived fashionably lateA gift to Her A second chance and an unlived life awaitedI crossed my heart and wished a date with the darkness I'm now on my way to offer him my red roses It's like I felt his heavy shadowsThe traces he left behind as he came and left to pick up the red roses of manyMany who wished salvation of anyI with my red roses at his mercyKneeling in blissLet him have his transit inside meFelt the darkness as I couldn't wake upCould have been the Bordeaux Something in me knew it was the dark date I awaited While he took my red roses on his wayFloating in the sky for an hourBefore silencing him forevermoreHis transit left his marks inside me Buried my eyes as I was closing my eyes to the sorrow to be felt by manyTo me it was the sound of a life arriving A new life among wars fought in silence

I had a date with the dark horse Felt his wrath walk over me I had called upon with my red roses Perhaps they had negotiated Perhaps he was asked his final desire Before they had closed the diner

No visitors tonight he saidWe have fair wells to be said by the crowd Salvation had been the gift little one walked upon
