Like a shadow fleeting across the
Moon's face
so your eyes darken
in return
And like a red rose petal
settling across dark waters' surface
the stillness is broken
within me
And I remember it through flashes
flowers fall and spill
from lips I once had
of the blood that would come
from the rose stems'
You watching in horror
as the curse sets in
death like a blanket of darkness
to forever wrap my broken shell
I'm buried in a case of glass
and mahogany, the cushions light colored
and soft
everyday I hear you above me
It's the only way to tell
time
in my eternal slumber of body
but my spirit wakes to your voice
when you leave
I'm gone once more
drifting in the nothingness
of my mistakes
