DREAM DEAD You shiver like a delicate flame on a candle's wick, How beautiful- So pure, it's scary. Why are you so cold? Your heart is warm While you sit in this freezer. This world of ice I've built from my mind. Why can't I hold onto your hand? It slips away so easily. But you could hold mine When you put on your ring Small and warm. Not the right hand, Not the norm finger, A perfect fit. You're a danger to the market. The furs on the rack, too. Take back the weapon Or I will die in your arms. Your soft and cool embrace. Hidden in the stock, You see me alive For the last time. The candle's flame Will soon blow out For what you and I have undergone. Now that I have joined you on the other side, You don't seem so cold anymore.
