Nosferatu

Brambles tear my cold bare feet, I search the wood for you, the forest says it is complete there's nothing I can do. You left a letter on my chest as silent as a dream you said I know you did your best but I'm not what I seem. branches whip my tear streaked face the wind laughs through the trees, they say at last you have a place from which you'll never leave. A crush of berries marks your trail so black beneath the moon I know I seek to no avail why chant the ancient rune. a comet streaks across the sky and rain begins to fall turn back I hear the river sigh, you never knew at all. I turn my face up to the stars and shriek a dirvish howl I've nothing but a heart of scars and you ,oh fiend most foul! Idon't care what you have become, I don't care who you 'll be come back,come home, let this be done, I cannot set you free.
