The Last Star

The last star blinks out
I dance to the beating of my heart

The darkness consumes my soul
I close my eyes and cry out
'Enough of the dreary life
I can take no more!'

The blackness clouds my thoughts
The evil eats my heart
Screams fill the night
As my frustrations let out

The steel blade of sorrow
Pierces my heart
My blood floods the meadow
Only the moon sees

My lifeless body lies
In the dead of night

My soul watches from above

It shakes its head
And flies away
