Away from the Sun
Author: Zorra Reed

[Vampire Knight: Zero]

I never thought there would come an end
to this...blissful eternity
which dwelled so deeply within my heart.

Now a broken heart.
Held together by a rubberband
secure in my hand.

I once held a dream in my heart
I once knew where I was going
I once understood my way
Knew where my feet were leading

I treaded a path so right and willing
My dream shown so brightly it was glowing;
guiding me each day.

Now, there's pain. Only pain left unto me.

No more dreams or wishes.
Love, it doesn't exist.
All is lost or been forsaken.
All dreams are gone.

The moon coxed away the wishing stars;
there is nothing left to shine for me.

Oh, beating heart!
Life has lost all its meaning
and now I fall victim to the approaching dark.

Oh, broken wings!
Forgive me…
You've no dreams with which to beat upon,
to rise up and bear me from my sorrow.

Flame of Hell…
such a little thing that you are,
just a soft whisper in the winter cold.
Burn!

Grow little flame and consume!
Become the destroyer that you are!

Grow. Consume. Burn me to dust!
Bring destruction…so that there may be a Rebirth.

I can't breath, no more!

My dreams were shattered in the storm
My cries drowned in the tide of the sea
My tears are the rain
They are washing away with what's left of me.

Pain.
I know such pain.

Look, now guarded in my trembling hand
(Held together by a tan rubber band)
I bear the pieces of my heart.
