Crimson Roses

Crimson roses spread
All throughout the room
Candles strategically placed
To give the greatest
Illusion of romance
I have been waiting
For this opportunity
For months now
And the moment
Has finally come
So I can put my plan
Into action
Everything is going
Almost too perfect
I convince you to
Wait for me in the room
While I savor my
Plan that is about
To launch into action
I walk into the room
To find you waiting
On the bed
I choke back my laugh
As everything will
Soon be over
I make the mood
Just right
Create a perfectly
Romantic atmosphere
Waiting for my chance
Which has finally come
You begin to breath
A little heavier
The crimson roses flutter
A shot rings out
And it's all over

I do. But I think it's put sweetly.
And even though it's about murder, I think the parts leading up to the actual event sound romantic.
But that's just me and my perversion.

Perhaps "sweet" wasn't the right word. I was in a weird mood when I said that. But I do think the piece has a romantic quality to it.

What I meant (and should
What I meant (and should have said earlier, come to think of it), was that the romantic setting is an insight into the narrator's mind, like he's atoning, even subconsciously, for the murder. Like serial killers who bury their victims.
