Serenade

Sing for me
The song of lovers
The lullaby I have yet to hear in full

Sing for me
T'will be the only balm to this curse
You weaved around my heartstrings

Sing for me, beloved
Whether it be a sentence or a whole song
Sing for me until the clouds turn grey
In the desert sky

Your song will be the poison
The venom of my life
The melody, the symphony
That will be an end to my strife

It will be the rise of my immortality
The stirring in my bones once more
The shimmering of my soul
And the halting of my heart
A sensation I was sure did not exist anymore.
