Elemental Death
An ash in the sky
there's one in your eye.
An ash on the ground,
it's grey all around.
A fire in the air,
there's fire in your hair.
A fire on the inside,
- without oxygen -
It will die.
Crystals in the snow, sparkle and glow,
I see in your eyes much more than you know.
Snowflakes kiss the ground,
and you,
you make not a sound.
An ash in the air
reminds me of where
- and what -
you've become.
A fire in the sky is a start,
but it's no match for the
Fire
in my heart.
Crystals in the snow, sparkle and glow
like the ones in my eyes
that appeared when I saw the ground
- where you now sleep sound -
where snowflakes
kissed your lips
like I always
wished.
