Darkest Hour

A testimony 
of time 
Seizing gripping 
The soul 
Darkness shades 
Deep within 

Howling winds 
Looking into space 
Searching stars 
Hope she smiles 
White milky 
On the moon 

Teardrops fall 
Within pain 
colours drain 
A world 
in despair 
Looming in nightmares 
Upon the face 
Of doom 

One rose 
Begins to fade 
Losing colour 
Turning black 
Gloom her middle name 
Shrivels then dies 
A clock strikes 
Turning clicks 
Touching midnight 
The death bell 
Begins to toll 
Each strike 
Burns in pain 

When one 
fire dies 
Back to 
the embers 
Alone buried 
In ashes 
Lost in space 

Dull colourless agony 
With clouded feelings 
Turning forty shades 
of grey 
to black 
Emotion falls 
On this hour 
The earth 
Becomes dark
