Withered Heart
Fade to dim the withered heart
Crystal spires of shattered dreams
A perfect love now lost in time
Through plots and bitter schemes
Once life was bathed in evergreen
A love was newly sown
Now tatterd shards of emptiness
Bare hearts ripped through the bone
Beneath hope's shadowed amber haze
Rest tattoos of love's decline
Perfumed ink beneath the skin
Heart pierced by thorn and vine
Once tender thought, now angry gaze
No truth or love to share
When partners opt to scar their souls
In anger and despair
From silvery shadowed bodies blent
Under crescent moonlit nights
Neath diamond studded velvet skies
Love lays dead from pointless flights
