Listening to Crows Pray

In time
I may never live again
I walk
from my life and my friends
to you
a young and wounded queen
so rare
the beauty I have been
I see it in your face
as I come to your place
we’ll lie in bed all day
listening to crows pray
and now I kiss your heart
at the cross where secret chambers part
They part to let me in
to a love that has no mortal end
I cannot walk away
I listen to crows pray
their turmoil in tall trees
jangles over frozen seas
and walking through the hail
our human courage cannot fail
I promise I will slay
the one who tries to kill our day
