Negative Space

Guns and Roses

I watched the king's tower fall

Knew.

You couldn't hear my scream, my call

Help.

They painted your face

Red.

And they dressed you in white

Roses.

You smelled like chemicals

Fire.

They said they couldn't keep you.

Decay.

We watched you burn again.

Die.

So we could put you in a crystal jar.

Pain.

We put your name on a missile

Revenge.

And hit their country

Loss.

It missed

It was a victory

We hit their children instead

But it was a victory

We killed so many

But it was a victory

And your crystal jar flowed red

Regret
