have a little faith

;snow white

blood red lips
ebony hair
woodland eyes
skin pale and fair

you need no
enchanted mirror
whispering words
of a devil's sinner

i promise you
your pretty face
is nothing less
than an angel's grace

but birds and bees
couldn't make you believe
i curse your pain
and insecurities

i wish one day
you'd wish for me
but i am below
and you're royalty

so i stay silent
in this devastating dance
but now you're gone
and i never got a chance

betrayal leaves
an empty space
a huntsman steals
my saving grace

you turn away
through twisted trees
i lost you hard
and fast to he

yet i wonder
between now and then
how you couldn't find truth
with seven men

i keep trying to reach
but you disappear
and further the distance
in your reappear

each time i get close
you flicker, a glitch
dissolving beneath
my fingertips

i cannot tell
as you bite into red
if it's an apple or my heart?
both drip bloody and unsaid

only now i realise
i was wrong to wait
you leave me
and i'm far too late

you lie still as stone
on springtime grass
but i cannot touch you
through coffin glass

i miss you where it hurts
where unrequited begun
unspoken 'i love you's
fall silent from my tongue

my breath of life
nor living kiss
could not save
your ice cold lips.
