white winter
darkness breathes its soul
and spits out its heart
into a trembleing earth

within a embryo of blood
spattered on the purest snow
the seed of your heart sleeps
waiting to flower

kimi wo
shinjiteru
i belive
in you
to shine like a passionate star
in the darkness of the heavens

like the wind
that steals the tears from my eyes
your soul sweeps down from the sky
and falls to the ground as snow

your own intentions
bury the vacent shell
of what you once were
you color the snow red with your love

kimi wo
shinjiteru
i belive
in you
to burn like a lonely star
in the emptey void of the heavens

so now i guess its goodbye
but not forever
only for the fleeting moment
that is life

we part on such a winter day
when the sky is clear and bright
i will look up to see you
bleeding light across black infinity

kimi wo
shinjiteru
i belive
we will meet again
when the distent stars
chime their love song
in the depths of heaven

Wren, this was unusual and very beautiful. I liked it, and it gives you a good feeling, even in its sadness.
