The splinter from the bannister that first day

Noticing the colors of each other's minds
We decided on caution

Slowly, carefully

Knowing ourselves was hard enough

Quiet children nervous in each other's presence

Hesitantly testing the membrane for weakness

And slowly we became a world
And another

That first time crossing over
Hand in hand, shivering
We had found somewhere new
Just for us

And from that day on we became
Something more beautiful
More than what we were or had ever been
Red-gold eyes unspoken
Now truer than the dreams we had shared in life
And would share in death
Thru the veil untouched
We existed free
Held together by what was given from
That beautiful otherworld

Wait
No one must know
Hold
This is ours alone
No one must know
This secret world must live forever
We will protect it

Always chasing home in the olden life i have abandoned
Finally i'm free of it
As we carve our names into the stone

There's no return
There is no help
