Prologue: Into The Night

The night calls for me

The darkness hides the memory

Into the blackness with only the stars above

I run away from the light that remembers my love

A beauty which illuminated my life, and my heart

Brilliantly it shined, until the day my world fell apart

Blindly reaching for one last chance

Heartache and loneliness met my desperate glance

Crippled by an unbelievable pain

The loss was driving me insane

Refusing to believe it was fated

My heart no longer loved, it hated

The sunlight that was once so peaceful and warm

Now reminded me that I was bleeding and torn

In the stillness the night always hears

Only the moonlight would see my tears

My grief as deep as the night is black

My heart I did not want back

Love I no longer see

When the night calls for me

What were you supposed to do when the love of your life turned out to be a joke?

A horrible and cruel joke that came at your expense.

How were you supposed to cope with a pain that was relentless and unforgiving?

A pain that ate at your soul.

How were you supposed to live without the only person you ever wanted?

A person who hurt you, left you, betrayed you, and never loved you.

How were you supposed to repair the heart that had been so ruthlessly and completely broken?

There were too many pieces.

And where were you supposed to find the strength to love again?

When you had long ago ceased believing in miracles.
