Dying of loneliness

I feel so alone

What once was gold has turned to stone

My soul once light has dimmed

It dances with the night's twilight.

-

Lay my body down at midnight

The treacherous path intertwines with thorns.

-

The shadows overhead seemingly cut me in half

My body is no longer my own

Tears of blackest ash fall from my hands

I've been torn and tossed, defiled…

-

Lay my body down at midnight

The treacherous path intertwines with thorns.

-

My eyes no longer register what once was beautiful

The crimson lake beckons me to its depths

The blades are stroking my skin

Softly, gently calling my name.

-

Lay my body down at midnight

The treacherous path intertwines with thorns.

-

The clocks hands move decisively

Tearing my flesh from bones

Forcing the air from my lungs

My hand reaches slowly…

-

Lay my body down at midnight

The treacherous path intertwines with thorns.

-

Frozen

-

Lay my body down at midnight

The treacherous path intertwines with thorns.

-

At last…

-

Lay my body down at midnight

The treacherous path intertwines with thorns.

-

I'm bathed by moonlight
