The Coral Vine

Now I imagine her hair white
Still as thick as a coral vine
Once you're touched by true beauty
You're forever intertwined

I've almost forgotten her smile
On the last night she was screaming at me
Survival can derail sweet life
I begged her not to leave me

I was too proud to believe her
I was too afraid to believe in her

Anita, watching your vines
Watching you climb over anything
Been gone such a long time
She kept my heart as my sacrifice

I still remember the first time
Almost caught in the candle light
We kept cheating, death's touch
Nothing short of divine

I never quite had control
Was it real life or were we dreaming out loud
Desires not enough to change
Feeling safe from intervening

I was too proud to believe it
Now it's too late to repeat it

Anita, Watching your vines
Watching you climb over anything
Been gone such a long time
You held my heart as my sacrifice

Bloom lover bloom
Let out on my bones
To remind me of love I lost
Bloom baby bloom
Renew the world
Too magical
To be my only girl
