Then
And then
Somebody told me
I can't bleed the roses red
Guess I'll lull myself to sleep
with wine again
For I had painted the flowers
Not with peace
But with sweat and tears
And the blood of my enemies
And then
he looked at me
said with words so bittersweet
We've been here once
or twice before
And I turn into mist
Into the morning dew
Into something he couldn't move
For he took what was left of me
Not with force
But with lullabies
So bitter and sweet
He was a summer song
dragging me
into the deep.
But now it's winter
And our hearts are frozen
Mid beat.
