A Gentleman and a Lady

Perhaps another time to go spinning about
Another heart grown cold waiting for love
Another dress overlooked as winter’s breath kills its splendor
Death and destruction and mayhem making the world turn
Pivot about on its axis and laugh all the while
Across the Last Bridge is where we’ll meet
To spend eternity under a violet tree
Gone will be the beauty of youth
Away will have flown the memories of her
The grandeur of a lady is hidden behind a smile
But what does that smile know of the tragedies of life?
Warmth, it knows, and a love that is true
A love that is lasting and strong
Dance with death and heartbreak
Cry your heart out, is it worth the pain?
To see a gentleman and a lady waltz hand-in-hand
With their fair heads held high
Knowing not that I wait on the bridge for a gentleman
A gentleman’s gentleman who enjoys ripping hearts
A tormenting demon who shredded my heart
And now its raining pieces of me like snow
