Plastic roses never fade,
Never will their petals fall,
Never reach out to the light
And cannot grow at all.
But I keep them by my bedside
Just in case the memories fail...
Two red roses that survived
To tell the bitter tale.

Two red roses from a dozen
Given by my Valentine;
Do they signify forever?
Plastic lasts a long, long time.
Though not precious like the real thing
They can still be torn apart.
Ten red roses lay there shredded...
Lay there with my heart.
