Love for you

I used to be my own protection but not now

my path has lost direction somehow

Only the moon was the witness

To the tragic love story

My heart is cold, darkness consumed

I took you to the place we met

The tree beyond time

Death hung in my grasping arms

Pleaded for my touch

Our hair intertwined

black and silver

Now I sit below that lonely tree

And remember the feeling that I crave

To have you sit beside me

I still remember…

The windswept voice that spoke my name

With one last gasping breath

Rose red gashes took your life

But not my love for you

Remember…

The single apple atop the tree

The one we couldn't reach

As red as the blood that stained my hands

The place that held happiness

Now is your grave

The ghost of you hangs in the air

A haunting memory

Striding across the wet due grass

Cloaked in black and silver

That single apple taunts me now

That wretched crimson fruit

Suddenly the apple fell

And rolled to my feet

As if angelic hands plucked it

I got your message

My love for you is strong

As I leave our special place….

… I sware I heard your voice…

… speak my name with the wind.
