O come and comfort Soft blanket And warm my heart So perfect and untouched Your diamonds glitter Illuminated by the street light I watch as you grow Faster at times, sadly slower at others Soon your gaudy exterior melts away Leaving only black bones Building blocks of existence From that foundation New life springs A sweer aura about you Brings the hope of re-birth It starts slowly Almost undetectable Then shoots up Almost out of nowhere Blooming You pull away Reaching higher and higher Always fighting for more You wrinkle Your colors like fire Suddenly Fire is extinguished Despair for you Spreads like the plague The blanket again falls Comforting blanket Artificial gems You are at peace once again |
