Gloomy Red Graveyard

Red is the fading colour of a gloomy wilted rose,
On a gloomy rejected grave.

It is the mysterious cries from a lonely ghost,
In the heart of a misty graveyard.

Red is the taste of a crinkling ribbon,
On a still dusty coffin.

It is the smell of a diseased rose,
In a graveyard of lost souls.
