they say...

they say…
she was born in her own dreams
and the door to her dreams
is in the pool of her amber eyes

they say…
when she’s asleep at night,
lucifer and venus stand over her bed
and go to war to claim their prizes
venus wishes to steal her beauty
and lucifer’s prize… her soul
to free himself of the dark

they say…
she’s the princess of both sides of that door
and when two sides go to war,
she fights for both
against both
yet she belongs to both

they say…
the only key to the door
she keeps it in the dark of her heart

they say…
the paper crane she keeps tied to her finger
is his soul
and she keeps it that way
because she doesn’t want to lose him
again

and they say…
they will be together
in next chapter
in next life… that is
