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
