absolution

she's waiting for the worst to happen
sitting on that beautiful mistake
everything looks different, but it feels the same
helping him learn the lessons she couldn't
of knowing how to live after love has died
he gives her absolution
the mistake wasn't hers to make
but his love will outlast them both
because immortality is inside us all
like sunflowers and nightingales
will always bring him back to her
she's standing in the sunlight
with darkness all around her
wooden floors and crimson stained
he knows that he can love
long after life is gone
he's not just a man anymore
