Fog settling in the fields,
Silence throughout the streets.
On a night cold and dreary
Curled beneath warm sheets,
I dreamed a dream so clearly.
She woke in green pastures
Cool running creek ahead.
Warmth, blissful sunshine,
Where peace only spread.
He laid back lazily
Out of no-where he appeared
A soft smile on his face,
The man that she feared.
She sat uneasily by his side
Plucking blades of grass.
She snapped bunch of sticks
'Relax.' He said at last.
'You'll hate me.' She whispered
Gently he shook his head
'Have a little faith in me,
I will love you until I'm dead'
'How long would that be?' She demanded
'You're devoted to suicide,
To love and have you leave...
It would be better if I died.'
She looked out far away
So long her heart had cried.
Her thoughts so full of violence,
Her mind worshiping suicide.
All the men in her past
Had broken and hurt her heart
so she closed up and locked away
Herself for a new start.
She became inside so cold
Hateful, so empty, and forgot
How to give and accept love.
Avoiding had been the plot.
'Please smile.' She turned to him
'You're beautiful.' He sighed
She shook her head 'No!'
'I don't believe it.' She cried
He grinned 'But you are, I know'
'I no longer can die.' He declared
And looked earnestly at her
'I need to protect you.'
She answered him quieter
'Trust me, you don't need to.'
'Yes I do.' He smiled
And looked directly into her eyes
'I need to protect yourself from you,
Protect you from your lies,
And help start your life anew.'
He took her hand in his
And upon it placed a kiss
'I myself need a new start
With you in the country it is bliss.'
Years passed by unnoticed
Her heart she gave to him
With her love and dreams
Trusting in nothing grim,
Her tears no longer streams.
Gold sun rays lit the earth
And all the joys she'd never known
Removed all the throbbing pain,
Thorns and thistles that had grown.
