Red Rose

Don’t give me rose

And ever if you give

Ensure, that it remains red forever

I have lived in hardship

I have worshiped and been worshiped

I have seen that only glory can bury or conquer them

Those which are called

Guilts & sins

And those which are needed

To convert a defeat into win

All I learnt through these years are worldly affairs

And so, I say

Don’t give me rose

And ever if you give

Ensure, that it remains red forever

I have seen people leaving me

I have seen people begging me

I have seen how

Success and failure

Make them own and disown me

With all I have seen

I, no longer have interest in those blues

And so, I say

Don’t give me rose

And ever if you give

Please ensure, that it remains red forever

It’s not that I never lifted them

It’s not that I never gifted them

I also sometimes held them with truth

I also, sometimes sung the rhythmic blues

But all I  got in return

Were tears and pain

And I was always left alone

In the unholy rain

And so, I say

Dear, don’t give me rose

And if ever you give

Please ensure, that it remains red forever.
