Sangus Et Cinis - Roses & forget-me-not
The grimace in the mirror
Smiles at me...
Roses and forget-me-not.
Frogs run down the stairs.
On a red velvet carpet
I fell down again,
And nobody catches my fall.
Golden circles and ragged dresses,
Just another faded flower
In the season of cranes.
Smiling,
Hiding behind a smile.
I wonder who's been using my name this time
To earn some hate out there...
In the silence which followed
Between the last eternity and now
Hyenas where bursting in,
Laughing and screaming...
Bury me beside my dearest this time...
There's no-one I ever loved...
Keep your petals, till I return,
Blossoms and fireflies...
Roses and forget-me-not
