Imperial
Location
Dull tired numbness seeps into my bones
Cracking and breaking my beautiful home
Made of jade, bronze, imperial stone.
My fields are filled with frost bitten flowers
Whose wails echo in my marble tower
Free from pain but not their final hours.
They don't glisten redly against the snow
But stiffen slowly till the final blow
Filled with unrelenting ravenous cold.
Colors and tears show me the dead man's soul
When he starts on his journey no one knows
Now only his ashes haven't been sold.
Why are we brightest for the final time
Waiting on reapers to make us alive,
I've just woken up and now I must die.
Taken for granted the things i deserve
But now darkness is the lesson I'll learn.
