Winter Nights


I touch your sobbing face, feeling the end,
You my love, I hold dearest of all,
Our family’s feud will stop our love,
So now out of this life we must fall.

The bitter wind freezes the tears,
As we take up the vial,
This drink is to the family and
The warring way that we are in denial.

My lips suck at yours, tasting the sweet poison
As it slicks through my dying frame,
I look to your eyes and see the love
A love that none could tame.

The snow falls on our lives,
December claims our breath,
The end of the warm season
Symbolised by our death

This is not your average love,
This is ours forever and beyond,
In death we will win the fight,
And savour the unbreakable bond

That binds our souls into one,
Beyond the winds of this night,
Our mortal love grows more and more,
As we step into the light…
