Eternity - Anathema

So little time.
Your crystal eyes gaze into mine.
A burning flame.
Forever dreaming, dreaming a lie.

Trapped inside enteral eyes.
Caressed by innocence
A sanctuary for your mind.

Born alone
Beneath pale sardonic skies.
One love.  One life.  One Sorrow.

I won't reproach myself this time.
A condemned man,
Granted a sweet reprieve.
A turn of fate
A genial twist of the knife.
Undying affection for life.
