Tristesse - Pale Forest

If I say I love you

will you stay or want ot wither, fade away

If I show you the sun and the night of my past

will a smile cross your face but just vanish too fast

In the greener field she lies

the superior being with emerald eyes

Red strand of hair and straw entwined

She’s surrounded by utopia

but unable to find

A reason to keep those flaming eyes burning

for darkness blurs her yearning

She feels the tides have stopped their turning

and beauty only lives in death

I hear you singing in my dreams

awaken to your silent screams

I see you dancing on the line

of sorrow versus joy divine

In the greener field she lies

the superior being with emerald eyes

Red strand of hair and straw entwined

She’s surrounded by utopia

but unable to find

A reason to keep those flaming eyes burning

for darkness blurs her yearning

She feels the tides have stopped their turning

and beauty only lives in death
