SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

The lights are dark as night
You breathe quietly in bed
Unaware of someone watching you
Sweet dreams flow through your head

I gently smile in wonder
You're beautiful, you know?
Admiring your raven hair
And skin as white as snow

I step with slow precision
So you do not awake
And stroke your face so tenderly  
With every breath you take

I wish this were forever
This time I have with you
To treasure and remember
I hope that you shall too

A step that's taken back
Eyes filled with shame and sorrow
For now, tonight, because of me
You won't awake tomorrow

A silver blade glints sharply
Regret is in my stare
I'll never find another love
For no one can compare

The weapon inches down
But I stop it in its tracks
The tears fill up my widened eyes
I sharply pull it back

I step back in my corner
The shadows swallow me
My hands cover my anguished eyes
For nobody to see



My love for you is pure
Yet you are not aware
You surely don't know who I am
Or that you're in my care

I know everything about you
Yet you don't know my name
We've not been introduced yet
And for that, I'm so ashamed

For now, I'll stay here watching
But come morning I shall leave
For you don't know I'm in your house
Your memory's a sieve

You left your bedroom window open
What a foolish act
For I walked by at just that time
And came in through the back

I kiss your head goodbye
Now as I leave your room
The knife I have shines brightly
My love, I'll see you soon.
