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
