a carnation,
for false love
i remember your brightest hue

big pretender,
nothing real
showed me nothing but a lie,

and this red vivid carnation,
stood for nothing, now i sigh

i knew not,
who you were,
time's gone by,
flowers die,
and you showed me but a lie

i still keep you,
wilting flower,
i remember your story too

'twas a story of false love,
but the truth is,
i lied too
