amaranthus (love lies bleeding)

visions of you, figures of stone and ice
obscured by curtains billowing like ghostly clouds
persistent dreams of dying in your arms
make me wish that I could dream again

walk through the forest in search of heart and soul
trees bowing down, prophetic of what comes next
I see you on the limbs, looking down on me like the moon
illuminating from here to the end of it all

I look in your eyes, they're as empty as the seas
filled with an enigmatic light from the stars
behind them is a hunger I've never seen
for something I will never see again
