In the dark of night
feelings swell
my heart bleeds
a time well forgotten
yet standing here
alone and unprotected
darkness is ever present
leading me to the void
a void of no light
a void with no emotion
a void with no one there.
In the dark of night
my life withers away
shall I go or stay
to go is death
to stay is betrayal
to go I am alone
to stay I am alone
where to
time only knows
battles wage inside me
I must make a choice.
In the dark of night
my body wastes away
flesh blowing in the wind
blood trickling like a stream
the ground tainted
nothing can grow here
I wish to go
but I wish to stay
what do I choose
a choice
It's all have.
In the dark of night
I will make my choice
to become one with the night
a shattering scream echoes
horses roar and sputter to life
black cloaked figures
arms open in an invitation
their blades glisten
they pierce my heart
my steps falter
I have written my doom.
In the dark of night
screams echo
my life bleeds away
my body fades
smiling ghostly kings
bony crowns
clothing whiter then white
wrinkled faces stare
wrapped clothing they give me
my life no more
I accept my fate.
