Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you

Roses have wilted
Violets turned gray
Sugar's just sugar
But we'll be okay

Roses won't fix this
Violets long gone
Sugar ain't helping
I know what you've done

Roses are thorny
Violets gone black
Sugar tastes bitter
I'm not coming back
As always, I turn to lame and pretentious poetry when I've run out of ideas for comics. This is sort of about four different stages of a relationship, I guess, but hey, don't take my word for it! What?

Also, aren't violets violet? They ought to at least live up to their name, come on.

EDIT: Changed it a wee bit, can't believe I went through four verses and never thought of the whole roses=thorns metaphor thingy.

Awesomish. Very simple, yet very tricky. I need to fave this, really.
