Her pristine beauty is only reflected in midnights dreams

her tears, diamond streaks upon her cheeks

Amongst the light that brightly holds her,

she sings a lonely melody of unattainable love

 

Seeking in endless time what she knows she’ll never obtain,

sweet solace in cold and steady arms

Poring her heart out in the only method she can,

sending a sentiment of true feelings 

 

With nimble and delicate care, wrapping a precious gift,

she breathes life into immaculate and shining creations

Sending them off with an hourglass each,

a smile of deep sorrow for the journey that’s lead

 

These gifts make their way down an uncharted path

some smoothly gliding, an easy and eventful ride

Others facing trial after trial, brutalized by painful dealings,

while she can only watch their travels from a distance

 

When the sands pour their final seconds, the glass shatters,

the road that they walked upon breaks and falls away

Dropping these precious beings into a frozen embrace,

pitch-black tears falling onto dying ember

 

Taking this love sworn gift into a trembling embrace,

the darkness shrouding a once shining inferno

Left behind are but ashes which are carefully collected

their given names are clumsily written on every vase

 

His menacing aura that haunts the dreams of midnight

hides the tears of his war-torn heart

Amongst the lonely abyss, he calls home 

Death sings of Life’s unattainable love
