They are an impossible shade of blue Almost crystalline As if reflecting summer sky Though they've not seen daylight For nearly 150 years It's five years since I became lost to them Five years since they were filled with seething hatred Five years in which they changed from cocky to calculated From disturbed to pathetic From passion to love Cerulean blue that echoes his love His love for me His love for this odd life he's had He was a killer, then he wasn't There is no sense to it Sometimes they flash with gold indignation Or annoyance or frustration or anger For life's twists & turns For me being foolish For denying what I am For denying what we are together |
I love the life in them, particularly now Even though there is no life in him I see it there Reflected in the frayed azure edges of that impossible blue Desire, passion, fear, regret, uncertainty, excitement, love I admire the courage The determination The eagerness in them But the love I see in them is precious to me Even now, when it's so close, they tell his story There is exhilaration mixed with embarrassment Embarrassment at this odd second death A death that is for me more than the world Now that our clasped hands burn with the flame of victory Over the evil that tried to consume us all Over the love I tried to deny Over his struggle to be worthy, I finally realize He knew it all along Though it is his turn to deny it He is betrayed by them now As his eyes burn him into my heart for all eternity |
