Lady of the secret night,
Who's heart echos with screams.
Her lips traced with crimson blood,
for the lies she has come to taste.
Like a tomb shes closed within,
so numb to the light beyond.
Yet you'll never find her reaching,
for a world not worth her time.
she sits beautifully composed
upon her throne of shadows.
Lost within a dark horizon,
she finds comfort in her cell of webs.
Each memory tangled around her,
binding her sheltered silence.
You can sometimes hear her whisper
into the breeze of the midnight air.
She sits in dreams and calls to you,
from the shadows of despair.

wow, I really enjoyed reading this...
it is a very powerful write, full of great imagery...
"Her lips traced with crimson blood,
for the lies she has come to taste.
Like a tomb shes closed within,
so numb to the light beyond."
I liked this part the best, in some way it reminded me of myself, how I felt at my darkest times...
take care
