I stand
Out my backdoor
In the garden
Weeping willows
Crimson roses
Wrapped in my winter cloak
Tracing the outlines
Of a scarred oak
A motherly whisper
Echoes in the wind
Deep in the night
Dripping in sin
Wandering the meadow
Of tears and hurt
Skipping over souls
Resting 'neath the earth
Maundering the rosewood forest
I'm creation's darkest tourist
The trees decorated
With rickety swings
Red gloved
Red winged
Tossing pebbles
In the riverbend
They disappear
Into nothingness
Spinning 'round
In the clearing
Evergreen falling
Nobody hearing
I'm free till the sunlight catches me
But you still haunt me
You still haunt me
