Eyes that last I saw in tears
Through division
Here in death's dream kingdom
The golden vision reappears

I see the eyes but not the tears

This is my affliction
Eyes I shall not see again
Eyes of decision
Eyes I Shall not see unless
At the door of death's other kingdom
Where, as in this
The eyes outlast, the tears
And hold us in decision

The shapes and shadows

The time was a dispassionate observer
The frost was penetrating his thoughts
It saw what was hidden inside
His cold kisses made her blind
It was better to pretend that
She didn't know the truth
Even though she knew

Beyond the shell of her body
She hides her bloody tears
She has known the taste of grief
She knows what it is like
When the world falls to pieces

The shapes and shadows

Of their trembling bodies
Plaited in love embrace
This view is engraved in her soul

The pain is a painter of artificial smiles
