There once was an extravagant tree
Strong and tall with...

The wind whispers a song so exuberantly beautiful
As the moon and stars waltz within an ebony sky...

Words hover on trembling lips
While the heart yearns for a love...

Night cascades over the horizon,
Elegantly reclaiming its throne...

Her footsteps are already worn
Into the ground that leads away...

I used to look up at the sky
Each and every night...

I will always be in love with her
In such a way that I cannot, and will not...

Hurt me, love me
Breathe me, need me...

I shut off the lights
And lay on the bed...

She called me Red -
When the world collapsed...
