persuader

fading smiles on snow clad skin 

he left her tied in strings of pain 

beneath the shame of weeping sin 

  

and shadows haunting with Violin 

her days of him are out of reach 

fading smiles on snow clad skin 

  

and face of secrets stretched out thin 

his name is boneless on her lips 

beneath the shame of weeping sin 

  

the breath of lasts in eyes that sting 

a final kiss that died from space 

fading smiles on snow clad skin 

  

her glass is filled with pearls of gin 

she swallows the poison of his parting 

beneath the shame of weeping sin 

  

where winter falls deep and grim 

laying heavy on her slowing heart 

fading smiles on snow clad skin 

beneath the shame of weeping sin
