Dying Beauty

I'm alone

In my suffering

Cursed by this fatal longing

For the flower

Bloomed in decay

That holds the cure for my heart's dark pain

You're the dying beauty

I desire

In the winter of my life

You're the dying beauty

I require

To survive my darkest night

You're pale hands

Caress my skin

And deeper into your web I'm drawn in

Collapsing on

This dying bed

Renew me with your heavenly rest

You're the dying beauty

I desire

In the winter of my life

You're the dying beauty

I require

To revive this fading light

Comatose

In your embrace

Your black kiss I dare to taste

Poisoned by

Your love's disease

But it is the sickness that I seek

You're the dying beauty

I desire

In the winter of my life

You're the dying beauty

I require

To survive this, my darkest night
