Diamond
Two old school lovers walk with faces covered
As the wind begins to blow, the blood begins to flow
As the beating starts to fluctuate, the old man spits at the nasty taste
Of the tongue in his mouth, one too many lies and a few lines he despised,
He wanted to throw them out
But the lessons he has learned and the ashes they have burned
All have flown away, the slightly grotesque and the unfortunately over stressed,
All have died and withered away
But their love remains, even through the obscene strains
Behind their dying skin a heart beats hard within
To show there love is strong, the entities of love with the motion of an endless song
The snow was now falling, a sweet picture,
He has won the war to hold her heart till the end
His hands are gray and wrinkled but like a diamond they will not break
The measures of love forever and the questions of her endeavor,
What steps is he to take?
He hears the cries of the past, coming now to ruin it all
The somehow over bearing figure standing and staring at his heart left in the hall
But there love will last forever like the stars in the sky
These questions of someday ending they beg themselves "why?"
She looks at him with respect and admiration
She can see it in his eyes,
Their child long gone from disease
Was there anything she could’ve done
The heart lost in the storm and a night she always morns, it will never return in time
But their hands have been through it all like a voice too scared to call
A heart that beats is a heart that loves and a heart that works is a heart that hurts
Until it beats no more
But even now being older there love will never grow colder
A love so strong nothing could go wrong
Until the end is the end
