Where Are You This Night
Where are you this night, Serenity?
With plains of dying tears
Crusting upon the soaked lashes
Deep bleeding heart aches
Painfully laden with twisted betrayal
Sharp you are this night Serenity
Words piercing like swords
Wrapped in flames, scorching
Glossy eyes reflect a pain that cannot be fabricated
Stacked glass crashes over
Lacerating with your poison,
Stinging words
Collect in a crimson puddle
Where have you gone this night, Serenity?
Yearning for your touch, screaming in agony
Still your cruel frame dances away from-
The beauty of you ever more increasing with burning lust
Why do you evade this night, Serenity?
How can one know their worth, when others see no value
What must one do to befriend you,
The inexorable temptress
Vicious attacks that tear
Brutally puncturing the vitality
My vitality
My life
And you've destroyed it all
Where have you gone this night-
Serenity?
