You will fade behind the red moon.
You fade with the setting sun.
You will fade into the gossamer leaves.
You will fade with time.
Just as they all do.
Just as they all have.
You hold me so softly,
Look at me so tenderly,
Speak to me so gently,
And warm my soul completely…
But love is a lunar eclipse.
A moment fleeting in time
One of magical wonder
Soon to pass into memory,
If it is to be remembered at all
So
Fall
Fall
Fall and break upon the harsh ground
Look! Look! Look all around!
There are shattered pieces of me everywhere
And I cannot make them go away.
Life is an ironic play,
One in which all players die.
There is no hero at the end,
The villain is your friend.
Love is the dagger
Of intricate design
That you sweetly admire
As you plunge it into your foe!
And you laugh and sing
While watching yourself die
In the naïve and pale eye
Of your love, your life, your soul.
Watching…watching…
Watching it all fade away
Into the sordid beauty and decay
Of a "happily-ever after"
That will never be.
And you do not want it…
All the pain that will ensue…
And you do not want it
To ever end…to ever end…
For this is real.
And it is the first time that
You could ever, really feel…
Anything at all.
Please do not fade
Do not fade away behind
The freezing fire of
This red moon!
Do not fade with this
Sweet setting sun
Of forgotten bliss!
Oh Please!
Do not fade behind your kiss
Into the gossamer leaves
Of Wilted trees.
Please, Time…do not let this fade
