I quiver in the dark alone
Shredded by the pain
My nightmares merge with memory
And tear me down again.
My namesake turns the sky to ash
It's cries are children's fears
But it seems that no one cares to ask
About a dragon's tears.
And I am proud and stubborn too
As you must surely know.
And though you know I'll never ask
My love, I need you so.
Please forgive my sharpened tongue
And reconcile my pain
Please lie at my side until
I can be still again.
