Darkness
darkness settles slowly upon the lost soul
still moving boundless and within
that sweet twilit night
upon the tender mouth that uttered those words
i fell deeply
never to return
sweet breath of one i love
never again to be felt
a gentle kiss leading the mind to believe
a lie you have thrown to me
i thought i knew you well my love
but now darkness does take me
a soul i have lost
unbearable to think
but my life i would give for you
take away the dreaded pain you give me
for i return your love you once said
in love with a fraud
ashamed to say
but, like all fairy tales
it had to end someday
darkness swallows the bright soul
darkness holds the mind hostage
try as i might
but i cannot sleep at night
for the darkness of your lies has swallowed me whole
