Ambrosia
By alesana
sweet ambrosia on my tongue
the wine of life across my lips
closing
my eyes to the earth
decorated in all the shades of grey
pale
skin and glazed eyes
still all dressed in white
a veil to cover
all her pain
her marital bonds to Death himself
it's not what
you see that you should fear
it's what this world has blinded you
to
enclosed in darkness
a nightmare within a nightmare
such
flawless beauty
ruined by the stains of life
I suppose I shall
follow...
until I can follow no more.

How horribly sad, nicely written though :)
