He Handed Me a Rose

He handed me a rose of white
Signifying his intentions were pure
I was holding my feelings back with all my might
I couldn’t fall in love with him I was sure

He handed me a rose of yellow
Trying to tell me he was glad
His sweet sign of affection was mellow
Showering me with all the love he had

He handed me a rose of mauve
Saying he wanted to go past friends to the next level
He was so charming and suave
He had my feelings all in dishevel

He handed me a rose of pink
Thinking he was glad we were finally steady
That’s the moment I fell in love with him, I think
I wanted to go to the next level, I was ready

He handed me a rose of red
Telling me he loved me so
Then the thought went through my head
There is no higher level for us to go

He handed me a rose of blue
Showing me we were done
After all we had been through
I took out my silver-plated gun

He handed me a rose of black
Looking at the wound were I had once bled
He looked shocked and very taken aback
That I had shot myself and now lie dead.
