What could I ever say to you?
You, that would block out the rays of the Sun-
That is something only I could do-
Your lips, the barrel of a loaded gun-
Can you see the flame in the Bloodstone?
The liquid turns stone cold in my eyes-
Can you see the moon, a sliver of bone-
Face turned up to the sky, ruby studded sighs-
When rapture covers your face, my face-
Do I dare stare into the pools of gold?
I float above the lock, hands tied with lace-
It is the lace I want for you to hold-
How could I not let myself risk the fall-
All I long for is to answer your call-
