Love is dead
Or so I said
The thought had bled
And left my head

The parting sea
Was red to me
I took a leap
And went too deep

I saw the tide
Consume my mind
Only to find
That I went blind

Inside my eyes
I wondered why
I ever tried
To speak this lie

Before I knew
Just what to do
I grabbed a plume
And drew a room

It didn't stay
The ink I laid
For all the shades
Began to fade

I couldn't grasp
What moved so fast
I'd not outlast
The weathered past

But still I fought
To write my plot
And finally got
What I had sought

If Love was dead
I'd welcome dread
And just be fed
My empty head
