Lyrics to Petite Roses

Petite roses bend

To sniff at my ankles

Pink and red roses lining the path

The flagstone path that leads to nowhere

To nowhere decided for now



And the dog runs up

With a heart in its mouth

Deposited pulsing at my feet

Blood still ushering from it's valves

It shudders and gives up one last beat

Shudders and gives up one last beat



Oh, who am I to get this gift

The giver bounding off in retreat

The dog runs up with the heart in its mouth

And drops it bloody at my feet

Roses pester at my ankles

The heart lies bloody at my feet
