The Darkness Within

Rain falls on the tall rusted gates The wind sings bittersweet melodies Like the days before when the sun didn’t shine Just the dark clouds in the sky Over and over and over again I pray this nightmare would come to an end Not knowing the difference between day and night This nightmare brings out more of a fright Lightning strikes the rusted gates The roar of thunder kills the peace Just like the days when the sun didn’t shine Just dark clouds in the sky Once again this nightmare is alive Caged in and wanting to survive To this day it’s hard to tell If what this cycle is Is like living in hell The winds cause the gates to buckle The fog blocks the abnormal sight Unlike the days when the sun didn’t shine The dark clouds that are in the sky The thickens fog had begun to clear I can now tell a new beginning is near Crimson blood runs down the gate Purifying what once held hate Very rarely the gates will show True beauty as white as snow Unlike the day when the sun didn’t shine Dark clouds in the sky I prayed the nightmare would come to an end I prayed for strength and peace all over again
