Black roses for the dead
Black roses for the dead
sucking in the light
that tries to ease her broken heart.
An already bad dream, turns into a nightmare
that still haunts her
long after she has awakened.
A young girl lies crumpled near a wall,
while her father lies on the couch
in a drunken slumber.
She no longer thinks of her
dead mother
can no longer be in her arms
she's the reason for his drunken state.
The killer strolls out o prison-
released on appeal
the day after his conviction.
Black roses for the dead,
for the little girl crumpled near a wall
killed in her fathers drunken rage.
