Slowly I start to awaken By subconciously looking in your eyes Funny how I used to adore them Bright did they once shine You offer your hand to pull me away Yet you let go of my hand once before I gave you my trust and you betrayed it Then kicked me hard on to the floor Behind your facade you are crying, behind crystal black tears, you're hollow and nothing more Poe's Raven, to be left with nothing Your conscience allowing you to speak, nevermore, nevermore Suddenly colors appear brighter, whiter and clearer than before Black has dissolved, now that the problem has been resolved Many years later as I stand poised Upon your unmarked grave, I reminisce all that I once gave And thought "how I could have been so benevolent?" And as I felt the first snowflake of winter Fall upon my head I placed one single blackened rose Upon the mount of earth, now said to be your blanket Then the vow I said under a low, icy breath, I shall never forget: "I shall not cry for your abscence" And I walked away in silence Quietly, of course, as not to wake the dead
