This poem is a bit dark, but at its heart, it is a love story first and foremost. |
A love like ours, stronger with each hour No one could understand, so we made our love a tower Where only you and I could go High above the world below Melting in each other's arms So seamlessly... Days of strolling in the fields Among primrose and pale lilies So it was, our love story Then they came, the earth-quakers The tower-shakers The heart-breakers We moved that tower to the sky And from there we said good-bye To the thorns that pained us To all those that chained us Away from each other From our tower in the clouds We listened closely to the sounds Of the world passing us by Still high On the winds of love You were the polar star in my bleak, endless sky I was the lone treasure you said caught your eye Together we lived Together as one Until those earth-quakers Eclipsed our new sun They swore they wouldn't rest 'Til this love was done They quaked The clouds were rumbling Our tower started crumbling Life, it started fumbling And before we knew it Our tower fell You said we could re-build again But I couldn't do it and Fell into a crack within The earth, barren Which swallowed me so utterly Now there was nothing left to see If there's no "us" Then there's no "me" That's what I chose Because our love Could never be. |
