Dear man

I was blooming so fast

I glimmered so green

It was time 4u to make me a sacrifice

So, your power burnt¬ me

And tore me apart

Ꙭ

Then I felt down pieces by pieces

I hated it

I scattered

I wanted it¬ to end

The wind was too strong

Ꙭ

I was fresh and young

As a dear man

You were quick and clever

You knew my eyes were leaves

You therefore sweetly warmed them¬ to straw

And spread them away with a little blast

Ꙭ

I heard them slapping on the ground

And scrabbling on a gravel floor

As the wind lifted them forcefully

I recognized since then¬ your footfall on my eyes

Ꙭ

My eyes

That was why I was worth

My eyes

That was all you thought I was

Ꙭ

Everything was done so gently

I once thought you were him

If he even existed, would he love me like you¬ did?

Then I’d prefer life than love

I sincerely doubt love has a sign though

Ꙭ

Halloween

I was a queen

The young 1’s feared my fallen eyes

But my heart was pure thanks

Given¬

To a dear man

Ꙭ

You think I would be blind

Sacrifice was done

Miracle was given

I have new fresh eyes

But not 4u¬

Sir demon
