Not All Roses Are Red

This is about the two sides of stuff like life and death…
Not All Roses Are Red
Not All Violets Are Blue
Alot has been left unsaid
Those 3 words that hold the truth

How can only 3 words
Cause so much pain
When spoken and heard

And how can the same 3 words
Cause so much happiness
When spoken and heard

See this 4 letter term
Is a binding vow
Of one's love, and one's hurt
Damage is done, no doubt

Life has Two Sides
A Light and A Dark
Love has Two Sides
A Together And Apart

A Rose Has Two Sides
A Dead and Alive
A rose can't live
Unless it dies

A Love Can't Come Together
Until It Is Apart
Not all loves are "happily ever after"
Some loves will break another's heart

There is a Heaven and A Hell
There is a White Rose and a Black Rose
There is a Church Bell and a Death Bell
There will be Highs and Lows

Until you've had you heart broken
Maybe once or twice
Will you understand what love is meant?

Not All Roses are Red
Not All Violets Are Blue
Not All Loves Last Forever
Not All Loves Are True
