briars

The only boy I've ever loved
Died when we were just 17
He wore a crown of briars
When he acted out the final scene

He slipped out in the night
And was gone when I woke in the morning
I never got to say goodbye
And I never got over this mourning

I never got to know him
In the way he needed to be known
I would've kept him close
Would've built him a briar throne

But now the deed is done
It's the end of the show
I remember him leaving the theater
I still can't stand the sight of snow

based off of the movie "dead poets society"

can you tell the hyperfixation is really sinking in???
