Silent Night
Gentle rain falls, masking the silent night.
Cutting through the air, and masking all sight.
Blinded once again, a misery not new.
I'm falling, falling for you.
Swept off of my feet, swept into darkness.
Stepped into shadow, fell into starkness.
Am I to lead, am I meant to follow?
A hunger I feed, a heart that won't swallow.
The sounds of grace, flow through my blood.
A private disgrace, an overwhelming flood.
I'll lay down tonight, succumbed by light.
I'm changing soon, I feel a pressure rising.
A darkness enters, I'm left despising.
A disappointment I'm sure, a haunting scene.
A love once pure, hidden in a winter of fourteen.
While I waste away, a new identity is born.
I didn't try to stay, my sanity was already torn.
A lives worth of expectations, a distant calmness.
A sturdy foundation, crumbled beneath a promise.
These waves of perfect pains, will forever remain.
Looking to the skies I see, I see my bane.
