under the gaze of crystal roses, I held
her bruised wrists in my hands, weeping
like a fairy tale meant for another darkened day
"I'm still waiting for you" - she litters her words
against yet another withering tree, as lovers left to die,
and, before we departed, her lamenting anguish
crushed the very ribcage of my soul
carefully wrapped in cypress and roseate wounds that
never seem to die, nor fade - "I'm still waiting for you"
these words, dreamlike and distant, still capture
the very essence of my entire life
this chest, these bloodied wings, as I find myself
surrounded by tales of wretched weeping, but
never the tale of joyous eternal love, as we
had always dreamed of, spoken of, you and I
we whispered them in the night like elegies
that somehow contained melodies
that we stifled in our sorrow, that one wretched day
the day of our cold departure, as I still wait for you
by my bedside, crying here, for seemingly, an eternity
and still you never return - pure taste of poison on my lips
as I remind myself of how I fell for loneliness
rather than cradling your wrist in the graveyard that one
divine day - a fairy tale we crafted with our minds
a bruised outpouring of what we had hoped for
as I weep with you, in gloom, still waiting for you
here-
as lovers do
@midnightxmasquerade This one is for you... The words spilled from me as easily as breathing, and that never happens
I channeled it and thought of you xx God bless..
