Endless Night

She sighs and closes her eyes For she knows the signs are right The darkened skies Signaling her endless night She caught a brief moment The sun shone through so bright She doesn't know where the time went But she has not the strength to fight Her heart got lost among the clutter Her love for him went so very deep To her soul that was all aflutter But the love was not hers to keep She tried to hold it in her hands But it burned the skin as she touched it Though she could not understand How her heart could so easily submit She gave up who she was and all that she had She tried to save her soul Yet in the end her love drove her mad And her heart, once fiery, was now cold. She sighed and closed her eyes For she knew the signs were right The darkened skies Signaled her endless night.
