.
Tonight I'm in a nightmare
blood is on my hands
whispering like a scarlet river
winding through the deepest valleys
of my spirit's scorched lands.
.
I catch her tears of acid rain
falling softly in free flight,
I cannot keep them from burning me
on this dark November night.
.
I sense my darkest angel's need-
her silent screams and forgotten echoes
haunt me as my thoughts travel through
the concrete jungles of her mind.
.
I see her tormented soul appear
around every corner, her tempest fires
of passion light up the moonless sky
as I travel further into her night
before the dawn where it may die.
.
Her spirits begin to torment me-
the hunger for passion, love,
the craving for a lover’s kiss,
the need for a simple touch...
.
The peace for her tattered soul,
the mending of her broken heart
I cannot not deliver in this autumn chill...
.
I walk along the frozen ground
of her lost emotions,
the pavement of the derelict streets
are trodden with her dying will...
.
The torrents drown her footsteps
that follow close behind,
within me now as the downpour plays
dirges to her midnight lullabies...
.
Lullabies of her songs of sorrow
and her cries of pain
that are carried away into the night
by this wet November rain.
.
Where is my darkest of angels tonight?
Still doing a macabre dance
to the symphonies of speechless screams
and silent tears?
.
Trapped behind the cage's doors
in the cellar of her fears,
chained to walls of animosity
in melancholy dungeons of her mind?
I can hear her haunting melodies
as I roam her soulless city.
.
I draw my trenchcoat in and raise
my collar while I search and feel
through the November mourn.
