    Ice crystals form and grow upon marble graves
    like creeping vines.
    They breathe in cold whispers upon the names
    that sleep sweetly next to one another.
    And I wonder in my strange melancholy way
    if we will find that eternal peace
    side by side, in a color so pale it almost crushes
    ivory.

    Or perhaps you will find your santuary
    beneath the willow planted by another.
    An unfamiliar name and my bones dusted over
    another land, one you do not know.

    I wish I could say that we will be angels in endless
    fields together
    the jagged swords of the past swept away
    and old wounds healed.
  
     All I know is the only certain things,
    that one must live and one must die,
    But shall we make our paths together
    and end them the same...?
