Briar

She has the same eyes
I found in my dreams
But dreams are just shards
Of past memories

I’ve seen you before
When I was a briar
My thorns bit your legs
My roots drank a tear

All your sorrow
And pain in that night
I feel them again now
Scaled in your eyes

Will they allow
My heart to be deaf
And get drunk of your tears
Instead of your blood?

She fell on her knees
Her rage in her breath
An owl cried his fear
Of treads getting near

I saw her cruel death
Laid on my leaves
My curse took her life
My life flew with her

All your sorrow
And pain in that night
I feel them again now
Scaled in your eyes

Will they allow
My heart to be deaf
And get drunk of your tears
Instead of your blood?

In my arms you’re lying this time
My heart beats, yours is slowing down
A sinful kiss is piercing your neck
As my thorns once kissed your legs
