Darkness

The world stops as the cold air flies higher and higher;

The blood rushes to the ground,

Spewing venom in its wake;

She taught the world to never forget,

She made sure of it in her days;

Nights pass and the light diminishes in this life;

I can see the angel, the pain, the death and lies through all the smoke;

He wails in his heartbreak,

His life hanging from a noose;

The mirrors spin, hiding the lies, letting him be buried in his mind;

As she sings her song of evil and night,

The sun blackens and falls;

For when the call of the siren sounds, her life is as good as gone;

The blood spills out of the veins, masking her lies, her pain;

She awakes at night and hides from the rest of us,

Never to come again;

I notice the cries, the darkness, the night;

I bask in her hidden pleas;

His cries fill my spirit, his anger my fuel,

The death of all things alive;

I burn in the anger, I die in the light, the will to survive is gone;

Welcome now, come to me,

The Angel of the Night.
