As he said goodbye
she woke with a sigh
and he kissed her drowzy head.
She blinked her eyes
and "please don't die"
was the only thing she said.
He rose and left
his ears where deaf
to her cries of "please dont go!"
she knew on his trip
he would fatefully slip
to his death 60 feet below.
Her love was gone
her hope was drawn
Oh she knew what she would give,
if the bells did ring
and the angels sing,
anything if he would live.
So the angel came
with wings of flame
and a deep ethreal voice,
"I heard your wish
with a true loves kiss
so go on and make your choice."
With gloomy mind
she thought how kind
her lover had always been,
though in early years
he had with peers
committed many a sin.
Her eyes did tear,
and she had fear
but her decision was true.
She'd hold in her heart
though they would soon part
his eyes of loving blue.
"If you let him stay
I'll pass away
to heavans gates above.
I'll give it all
and save his fall
because it's him I love."
The angel smiled
his eyes where wild
his judgment true and strong.
He'd let her love live
for she did give
the will to pass along.
He then held her hand
to leave the land,
"then come my dying lass,
please say farewell
to earth and hell
for now its time to pass."
They rose up so high
to the deep blue sky
and they passed the crimson veil,
To the king of death
With his firey breath
And his pointed scarlet tail.
Upon his head
where horns of red
with a black wavy mane.
He gave a grin,
one of dark sin
"I am so glad you came."
"Welcome to death!"
And his dragon breath
did make her cringe with fear
"Now listen to me
you're allowed one plea
so use it with much care."
"There are two doors
upon the floor
choose one you think is best
If you choose the wrong
then you'll sing the song
eternity of unrest"
In deaths gray walls
she heard the calls
of demons and angels in song.
the doors where two
one black one blue
she hoped her instinct was not wrong.
She moved towards
the two closed doors
and heard her lovers voice.
She cried for him
and in the dim
He helped her make the choice.
To the blue she stepped
And she gratefully wept
when she saw the rolling feilds.
But she looked back once more
and within the door
she closed her eyes and kneeled.
"I have one last thing,"
She said to the king,
the ruler of life and death.
A tear came to her eye
"please let me say bye
to my lover still on the earth."
All souls looked to the king
who gave her white wings
to go back down to the world.
She lifted her head
and flew from the dead
her bright feathered wings where unfurled.
As she said goodbye
he woke with a sigh
and she kissed his drowzy head.
there where tears in his eyes
and his voice spoke no lies
"I wish that you weren't dead."
