Roses are red... why is that the beginning to so many great poems? Roses come in all sorts of colors like pink, yellow, and blue. So why is it that red are the most important? Well red roses are my least favorite not that you remembered because for every Valentine’s Day or birthday that’s what you always come home with. I hate red roses they symbolize just how worthless our marriage really was. I like lilies they last longer than roses maybe that’s why our marriage didn’t last. It was weak like roses only strong enough to last for a week then we died just like they did. I hope the girl who replaced me loves the stench of dying red roses. I’ll stick with a man who can pick out a good Lilly because that man can make a marriage last.
