Glistening droplets of city ran landing on crimson petals
Autumn days feeling like summer, the nights are nothing but winters chill
Fallen petals are gathered and bottled for longevity’s sake
The crunching of bones and fallen leaves under my boots
Circling round and round, Wandering this graveyard one last time
Hoping to catch a glimpse of the ghost I use to be
So many secrets, so many years of lies that slide between teeth
But serpents don’t live in this garden, here there is only trees bearing fruit
No longer tasting ash with every breath, something has been lifted
A self fulfilling prophecy of destruction and chaos is no more
Sunset caught and refracted by dewy drops of rain
Hold tight, hold fast - because I never want for this to end
Endless corridors of locked doors being flung open one at a time
Honey pours from our lips into the waiting ears held wide
Held tight by the threads woven by Faë fingers on hawthorn hills
Souls of warriors, hands of lovers, eyes of beasts untamed
Fire that hasn’t burned, and ocean sweeter than honey
The entangling grip of flowering vines on these old bones
