Analysis of Crystals
Crystals come for now's your time,
Angel's tears have synced into rhyme.
It's dark within this world of gray,
Soon now crystals will fill this empty day.
It falls within a special day,
A day of promise to leave without dismay.
To walk now with or beside joy and life inside this heart,
A fault of mine alone for tears will spill the cart.
Come now crystals fall without your fear,
To catch on children's tongues and hear them cheer.
For when I walk beside these streets,
I remember the times of flush and joy upon my cheeks.
Within that hand as I would walk,
A bundle of roses would hold this heart to tell it's words but not talk.
Now I wait with the sounds of falling snow to ease my wait,
Under a light I wait unknown that I was bait.
When such the door opened with sadness not joy,
With such an angered voice and now a broken boy.
With such flush of reds upon those cheeks.
Sadness grows in only a matter of weeks.
I left that day my heart behind,
And the roses on her doorsteps once so defined.
Crystals not on the sky but on my cheeks,
It was hot and warm and could fill the weeks.
I chose to never remember what once had been,
For I would leave this life with a fateful sin.
To close those eyes that final time,
Would soon end an overflowed heart that would burst into rhyme.
So crystals come for now's your time,
Angels tears have synced into rhyme.
It's dark within this world of gray,
Crystals fill this empty day.
