The Slow Ascent

In the void, earth’s asleep
The sickness grows
Embraced by it’s tainted wings
We still bleed
Cold oblivious
Dying star
Drown my tears
With your life
Let me rise
Let me sleep
In your arms
One more night
Paint like rust, covers me
Like the blood
Deep. deep within her
Mourning womb
…only night
Into the dark
Thru sullen lights
I remember…
Torn apart…
From the violent beating
Of a heartless winter
I long to rise… to feel
Cold oblivious
Dying sun
Drown my tears
With your life
Let me rise
In your arms
I’ll let go of this endless night
Now that you’re gone
Winter’s come
Please let me rise
Please let me feel
