I walk this dusty path, nothing before me but the night.
The sun setting on my left, the moon rising to my right.
The shock of this vast existence takes over my mind.
How can this battle of light and dark be so intertwined?
...

Our hunger for one another grows and goes unfulfilled.
A desire that can be matched by no other, you are my weakness.
You have me under your spell, with your touch of passion.
Your fire takes me to another level of temptation, one that I can no longer control.
...

There aren't enough words to explain how I feel
My heart is broken and will never heal
The pain is too deep
The emotion too real
...

...

Open to the world in a broken despair.
Quietly unhappy once again.
Settled into the same routine.
Hoping for the day that I can love anew.
...

I've sat here all this time
Searching for a reason
Holding onto this season
Waiting for the sun to shine
...

Death knocked on my door and I sent him away.
'You aren't taking me now, come back another day! '
'No child! It's your hand I must hold.
Beneath those bones is a heart already cold.'
...

Make my black roses turn red?
Fill me with the love that makes me shiver?
Touch me with the hands of an angel?
Kiss me with the lips of a lover?
...

A million stars brought to life at the setting of the sun
The moon takes her righteous place now that the day is done
Awakened to this dreadful night as the demons stir again
Scratching and clawing their way out to lead me to my sin
...

It breaks my heart to see you cry
There is nothing I can do
I watch you die.
...

I'm not running in fear,
I'm gonna stay right here!
I disregard your threat,
Because I have no regret!
...

...

From darkened depths voices call
demons watch as this angel falls
My heart pours out all that it holds
Numbness takes over, my body goes cold
...

I once knew a bride
who on the day she died,
told her groom her love was untrue.
...

...

I want to tell a story of a love so true,

This happened to a dear friend I once knew.
...

These words flow with no reason
Tortured thoughts only longing for escape
Insanity at its truest form
Deprived of sleep and need
...

The words will be whispered, the lies never told
A cherished heart with no body to hold
A masters grin, and a devils eyes
No truth to his touch
...

...

A hesitant glance in my direction
No walls could have given me protection
Heat flushed into my cheeks
In that moment my body was weak
...
