Night After Night

Night after night
She lays alone
Dreaming of Mr. Right
Hugging a pillow
Wishing for what
They say she'll never find

Night after night
She stays awake
Thinking about her love
Really the lack of it
Since her honey died

Night after Night
She thinks of him
Wishing they'd never gone
Driving along that
Abandoned road
So dark that fateful day

Night after night
She curses him
For drinking oh, so much
Speeding along and
Not looking out
For just what lay ahead

Night after night
She remembers him
On the hospital bed
Squeezing his hand
Just one last time
Him saying "I love you"
Night after night

The Fragile Majesty

As she slept that evening,
He was watching her.
She quietly wept while grieving,
Over her slaughtered mother.

It was a mystery indeed,
Her tragic death.
The heart could do nothing but bleed,
And immensely build the wrath.

Fists clenched, and eyes of stone,
She then sought revenge.
"I'll pay him back when he's alone,
Mother's death I shall avenge!"

Knife held tightly at her back,
Conscience shot to hell.
With the courage she used to lack,
She slit his throat so tranquil.

Instant realization,
Of this malignant act,
And her horrible intentions,
She collapsed, did not react.

Fear coursed through her still body,
Convulsions soon took place.
Delusions of pure oddity,
Kept her in a trance-like daze.

Now she sits behind these walls,
Just rocking back and forth.
People in white coats roam the halls,
Watching the no longer orth.

Down, Down, Down.

Down, down, down,
It gracefully floated,
Bouncing, Drifting, Fluttering,
Pure as snow, soft as new flesh,
Blown across a meadow green.
Whirling, Twirling,
Descending from the sky.
The feather of a dove,
Down, down, down.

The Darkness Within

The darkness within
Refusing to subside
Future always vague
You don't understand
The pain
The pain takes over
Mustn't give in
Drowning in a sea of confusion
Mustn't give in
Slipping Away
Must grasp hold
Something
Anything
Nothing here
Down
Down
Down
A downward spiral of lost hope
Yearn, strive, hunger, reach
Slipping away
The pain
Trembling
Breaking down
Closing up
The pain
This is the end
This pain
This hate
This confusion
This is me
