goodbye -- villanelle

Violets are blue, roses are red
All those words that had never been said
When you wake up, you'll be dead


I tried so hard to end this right
Sorry for all the tears you shed
Violets are blue, roses are red

Sorry for my mistakes in life
But this, my greatest lies just ahead
When you wake up, you'll be dead

Sorry that you've sheltered your light
But maybe now that you're free, that light can spread
Violets are blue, roses are red

"I'm sorry"s are always hard to write
But goodbyes just as much I dread
When you wake up, you'll be dead

No more tears, no more strife
Put the gun against your head
Violets are blue, roses are red
When you wake up, you'll be dead
