Winter Lillies

Your eyes are aglow Leading through them vines Mysterious thoughts Wondrous skies What are you thinking? I want to know Rose petal cheek Drop of dew falls from your eye What memories pain you so? I wish to unlock your troubled past I'll walk through the thorn felt foliage with you The dark clouds hover over head Doors covered in vines Rows I'll pull from the roots They go deep underground I see what you did inside yourself Veins Where scars lie Past words written across your forearm Thin, deep cuts placed over your heart Blood soaked sleeves Right where your heart was worn My words, the Aloe Vera Smoothed over delicately Your heart Compassion What I feel I empathize I too bore marks My arms streaked with the acidic tears My deteriorated heart Pieces back together with your words Our lives intertwine Never let me go I'll hold you through the night mares we'll go through Already passed the first door Others to come Never ending staircase We'll spiral down together This house is haunted Our past mistakes trip us with each step We'll carry on Burdens weigh upon our shoulders Slowly we trail Many a door is passed Automatic piano plays shakily throughout the halls Breathing to match the feeling that the music expressed Whispers echo through the fog Behind us the house can be seen now In the distance A light raps around the vanilla sky Stars orbit vaguely Unanswered prayers Through the woods we fall The darkest of our moments We confide in each other I'll catch you as you descend Once again in my arms I'll kiss that crystal that lay upon your cheek More crystals fall now You kiss the crack in my smile Shards of glass fall from my eyes now Through the happiness we found in each other The sadness cuts my cheeks Emotion bleeds reveling my sorrow Swimming with you in death We find new life Out in the courtyard We lay upon the snow White blossoms fall from the celestial sphere Our blood crystallizes this snow Rose petals fly from our warm claret You, the spark that caught my eye, were the death of me I'll love you forever Carried away by the wind Our memories We fall asleep Words never will be spoke again Feelings will never be felt Our love ends here In death we find each other That mark we left on the world will bloom sweet lilies May they never die like we did in this frigid world
