Persephone

The candle´s flickering.
My eyes are burning.
My fingers bleeding.
The needle, faster and faster
As if it knows that not much time is left.
The candle´s flickering.
There´s silence in my room.
I hear the needle
Perforating the velvet.
The moment soon will come.
I hope it will always stay.
It will be a beautiful dress
For my greatest day.
My love and me joined forever.
Eyes still burning, I could have known.
I´m too excited, fingers sewed to the bone.
I´m bleeding but still no disaster.
The needle, faster and faster
As if it knows that not much time is left.
My bridegroom is longing for his wife.
The candle´s flickering.
I wear the beautiful dress.
Ready to enter into my very last journey.
My love and me joined forever.
Nothing can ever come between us.
This is my greatest day.
