Description

...To hate Sleep

I like this a lot. Seriously. The black and white look... nice.

I intended for it to be Johnny/Devi, but if you'd prefer it to be Nny/Edgar... well, that's fine too.
But it's not really what I was thinking.

Okay... so the song is a chorus piece, which is adapted from a poem by Christina Rossetti. It's really beautiful.


come to me in the silence of the night,
come in the speaking silence of a dream,
come with soft rounded eyes,
eyes that shine... like sunlight,
sunlight on a stream.
Go forth, oh memory, come back in tears,
hope, love of faded years
Oh dream how sweet,
too sweet, too bitter sweet
whose wakening,
should have been in Paradise
where souls brim full of love abide--
abide and meet,
where thirsting, longing eyes,
watch the slow door,
which letting in, lets out no more.
(yet come to me in dreams,
that I might live my very life again,
though cold in death)
come back to me in dreams that I may give
pulse for pulse,
breath for breath.
Speak low, lean low--
how long ago, my love?
...How long ago...?
