…..I fall

In the dream I fall
inside the walls of my house of glass
I fall in silence
as the snow falls
as a leaf falls, as the night falls
in the dream I fall
inside the walls of my house of glass
the broken shards have marked my soul
the scars I bear now and forever
in the dream I fall
inside the walls of my house of glass
a scarlet stain upon the floor
and ashes falling from the past
in the dream I fall
inside the walls of my house of glass
under darkened skies of this velvet night
it is a lonely path but it is not written yet
in the dream I fall
inside the walls of my house of glass
clad in ghostly white
I am whispering your name
and you take me away for the last time
