Feuillemort

Feuillemort

For you're the one who makes me spring and grow 
In a beautiful vernal equinox 
When winter came, said thee "I have to go" 
In almost nirvana, thee became flux 
 
As seasons changed, I waited in pure vain 
Retrouvaille someday, in cockaigne of ours 
Overmorrow, season of growth again 
O God, asking to reconnect lost stars 
 
Growth and beauty have passed in a half week 
I'm now a shade darker, color no more 
Yes, the days have made me totally meek 
Bring me back to the days with her afore 
 
Regain, rebirth, relive me for I cry 
Ne'er feuillemort, but when green was I.
