Endless Night

She sighs and closes her eyes
For she knows the signs are right
The darkened skies 
Signaling her endless night

She caught a brief moment
The sun shone through so bright
She doesn't know where the time went
But she has not the strength to fight

Her heart got lost among the clutter
Her love for him went so very deep
To her soul that was all aflutter
But the love was not hers to keep

She tried to hold it in her hands
But it burned the skin as she touched it 
Though she could not understand
How her heart could so easily submit

She gave up who she was and all that she had 
She tried to save her soul 
Yet in the end her love drove her mad
And her heart, once fiery, was now cold.

She sighed and closed her eyes
For she knew the signs were right
The darkened skies
Signaled her endless night.

Shattered

Shattered light
Broken by the darkness of the night

Shattered innocence
I cry to you and ask of you patience

Shattered hopes
So many times being placed on the ropes

Shattered dreams 
I wonder why no one can hear my screams

Shattered heart 
My world slowly crumbles apart

Shattered soul
A once vibrant life now grown cold

Shattered mind
I wonder how the world can be so unkind

Shattered Life
Take it from me please just turn the knife

Shattered me
A prayer said "Please let this the end be."

Shattered
Broken, bruised, and battered
I offer up a silent prayer
For all those to whom life is not fair. 

Shattered lives and shattered hearts
So many people falling from together apart.

Her Knight

She had the beauty of a rose
The voice of an angel singing
She gave her caring to those 
That she knew and cared for all

Her heart she kept reserved for one man 
Who gave her his love in return
He offered her his hand 
And yet expected nothing of her

He was her knight in shining armor 
There if she should ever fall
Ready to be there for her 
All she ever need do is call 

She knew her love for him was true 
For her heart felt so much joy 
To hear him say " I Love You" 
To know she was more than just a toy

Two hearts coming together as one 
Loving each other so much
A love lasting where all others had gone 
They stood together with a love that was so strong

Come...

Come wrap me in your darkness
Let me breath in your scent
Let me lay here in your madness
Slipping into a cold descent

Come whisper in my ear
Let me hear your words
Draw me in and hold me near
My visions become blurred

Come let me cry to you
Tell you of the horrors within
Your darkness pulls me in anew
The pain ending yet beginning again

Come tell me of your wishes
What of your plans for me
Your lips speaking with bewitching kisses
I have seen all that I need to see

Come wrap me in your darkness
I know that you would never lie
Let me lay here in my madness
Slipping into a cold descent to die
