The Soul Waits Patiently Beyond the Time of Nightfall

You fall into despair on a black rivers dream

Life so it was not going as easily as it did seem

The corner of a shadow screeches silently of doom

The thought of sanity was a wilted hearts bloom

Forever and a day flees as far as the eye can see

Happiness falls flat as it always shall be

Scantily clad joy loose its eternal glow

The shoulder of love is as cold as the artic snow

Inner peace is bewildered upon the scripts of the one

A nightmare approaches upon the tears of the sun

A perilous journey fails fast and is begotten by all 

The soul waits patiently beyond the time of nightfall
