"Lily-White"
April 21, 2010
In a romance once pure,
In a place of all white,
Our love turned to grey
Darkening our sight.
From a promise soft-spoken
Made of lily-white intentions,
Two hearts became broken
From a word someone mentions.
Taken slowly to black,
Our love flashes crimson in blood.
The white becoming covered
In the tears of a flood.
They grey overpowers
And the white slowly disappears.
Drowning out our feelings
Which not even we can hear.

It's about a love that was once pure and becomes tainted without the lovers even realizing it. And when they do, they figure out that it's breaking them apart and changing them too much to stay together. Sometimes love is TOO strong.
