Red,White, and Black
An invisible girl sits there
In an empty chair
A smile on her face as
She looks back at herself
Lying forever asleep
In her bed
Watching now as
One by one
Her family goes first
Placing roses on her casket
Red, white, and black
All of her favorites
Saying their goodbyes
One final time
She can't take it anymore
As she throws back her head
Her unheard laughter
Filling the somber air
Of the church house
Friends and neighbors
Get up now
Most crying for her now
Their roses set next to the rest
Black and red
Like the dress that she wears
Saying their goodbyes
One final time
Still no one sees or hears
The girl as she begins to giggle
Her pale face as dead as the corpse
Lying in her deep slumber
Never to wake
It's raining outside
Even as she's put six feet under
Sitting trapped on her tombstone
She waits with a patient smile
As the footsteps grow closer
With a bouquet
Of red, white, and black
They walk away hand in hand
Never to come back
