You’re more afraid of her death than yours You stepped from dark waters with a violet-leaved crown Streaming from your ears, your arms. You took one look at her and Eyes wide Vowed to protect her Even if it meant your end. Treachery, treachery Rooted deep in the trusting words of him Caused you to fall Down into the dark waters from which you emerged. He held you down Drowning, drowning He wouldn’t let you breathe Drowning, drowning You saw her eyes through the blood and bubbles Drowning, drowning “Make it count” You whispered, Drowning, drowning As the light started to fade With your tears of blood Tears of pain Tears of sorrow Thoughts ran through your head Her eyes, burning in your mind “If I go down” “I’ll go down fighting” And your violet-leaved crown Floated into the depths Of those dark waters.
