Ashtree

You’ve had your fingers in the ashes again
The winters come and leaves no longer cover your skin
And, you breathed my melody
Dressed in melancholy
Like childhood memory
Just less happy
Than what I remembered it to be
You’ve had your fingers in the ashes again
Winters come and leaves no longer cover your skin
I haven’t forgotten
But I will still pretend
And, I’d lie to hear those stories again
Longing for he innocence I’ve lost
And escape from your delirium
To regain a feeling long forgot
My only sin is what I demand to see
So, I’ve let what I can’t change define me
When the sun breaks the horizon
And you’re still here with me
I long for deeper colours
Before my eyes and before these dreams
It’s how the branches of the trees
Carry the weight of these dying leaves
And, I carry this dead love
To bury and grow
Into hate and jealousy
I don’t feel anything, anymore
Fill my emptiness
Fill my heart
So I won’t let this change
