    It's a song, based on a very short plotless story I wrote once. I'm not quite sure why I chose this title, maybe I'll change it.

    Snow


    Lips purple, like the eraser at the end
    of the pencil
    That wrote his life
    His eyes, a bonfire
    Drowned in rain
    He is too tired to breathe
    Too tired to shut his eyes

    He doesn't, know what happens to
    The actors
    After the curtain falls
    He is, no longer
    Thinking of you
    Maybe he understands now
    Or maybe it doesn't matter

    I hold, his white crystal hand
    Snow is falling
    Years slowly freeze
    You look, at my eyes
    But can't understand
    That even if I could
    I would not bring him back

    This is lovely, I especially like the first few lines, about his lips purple as the eraser at the end of the pencil that wrote his life...it was clever the way you linked your ideas as well as the words :)

    Yeah, I must admit that this entire poem was written for the sake of those few lines. I was sitting on the grass field in my university, sketching what's in front of my eyes with a pencil (this was my first time using one in years) when I suddenly thought of this line. I wrote it down... Tried to make a story out of it... Didn't work, so I wrote the poem :p
