TO MY DARK LOVER
The full moon above
Shines on my love
Who stands so far
Away from me
The night is full of reddish rain
Some call it love that loved in vain
Wolves are howling
And the dark one stirs
It is no secret that I have a demon lover
Who, with me, have a brooding desire
That involves the man with
Black eyes, black hair, and....
Black light in his cruel eyes
How I hunger for my Lucan lover
How can that be?
For it is a dark light I see
Feasting on the flesh and blood
Of a lady fair
Her raven hair cascades down
Revealing white shoulders
From her mouth dribbles blood
He seems to be in ecstasy
All around, dark memories gather
Wounds me - increases my dread
Of his rejection
Takes a toll upon my heart
I must have him
No matter how
My demon lover and I
Do what is meant to be
Steal him away
From those beautiful haunting eyes
No matter that he prefers her to me
He is no match
For I and my accomplice
We are his destiny
Soon he will be making love
To me - in company
As my demon lover
Likes to share me

My Lady Is Broken
I don't recall ever feeling this defeated
Heart, mind and soul depleted
Soaked by the tides of my desperation
Her love absent without explanation
The space between us no longer measured in distance
My heart fights back with endless persistence
This chill in the air survives a thousand fires
Suddenly a stranger to all her desires
If she would only show me the colour that began this decline
I would paint over it white, bright and divine
Silence that brings a deafening sound
My heart pumping fear with every pound
Love shows it's cruelty, refusing to hide
Every minute I stay I die more inside
All I can hear now are the words she can't say
Maybe this is a dream and i will wake one day
My lady is broken.
I don't recall ever feeling this defeated
Heart, mind and soul depleted
Soaked by the tides of my desperation
Her love absent without explanation
The space between us no longer measured in distance
My heart fights back with endless persistence
This chill in the air survives a thousand fires
Suddenly a stranger to all her desires
If she would only show me the colour that began this decline
I would paint over it white, bright and divine
Silence that brings a deafening sound
My heart pumping fear with every pound
Love shows it's cruelty, refusing to hide
Every minute I stay I die more inside
All I can hear now are the words she can't say
Maybe this is a dream and i will wake one day
My lady is broken.
Same Sky
In the dead of night when you are cold and alone
The sun shines through the windows of our home
When the distance between us compels me to cry
My only comfort is knowing we're under the same sky
Your absence grows louder, now a deafening sound
I took you for granted when I had you around
I would do anything just to walk down your street
Knock on your door and fall at your feet
If I had a boat I would sail the seas
Arrive at your port and fall to my knees
With the wings of a bird I could reach your side
Soar through the skies until it's time to glide
Misery reaches the heart when you're torn from your fate
My desperation grows with every second I wait
In the dead of night when you are cold and alone
The sun shines through the windows of our home
When the distance between us compels me to cry
My only comfort is knowing we're under the same sky
Your absence grows louder, now a deafening sound
I took you for granted when I had you around
I would do anything just to walk down your street
Knock on your door and fall at your feet
If I had a boat I would sail the seas
Arrive at your port and fall to my knees
With the wings of a bird I could reach your side
Soar through the skies until it's time to glide
Misery reaches the heart when you're torn from your fate
My desperation grows with every second I wait
One Perfect Day
Running for the bus as it's driving away
You stopped the driver, began my perfect day
Floored by a strangers face and inviting smile
I came undone in less than a mile
Our conversation flowed with beautiful ease
My army defeated and down on their knees
As we approach the station there is fear in my heart
The end of the road is here, the moment we part
We both step off the bus in perfect time
I attempt to disguise my unraveling mind
Every fibre of my being wants to ask you to stay
I save my courage for another day
As I walk away my heart threatens attack
You reach out for my arm and gently pull me back
Be mine for this day? forget these feelings are strange
Tomorrow we return to our lives and nothing will change
I think of that day as I am nearing my last
More than the days of the thirty years passed
How can one day remain locked inside?
Still longing for all the nights we denied
The end lingers close and softly whispers I die tomorrow
Nothing can take back the day you saved me from sorrow
Running for the bus as it's driving away
You stopped the driver, began my perfect day
Floored by a strangers face and inviting smile
I came undone in less than a mile
Our conversation flowed with beautiful ease
My army defeated and down on their knees
As we approach the station there is fear in my heart
The end of the road is here, the moment we part
We both step off the bus in perfect time
I attempt to disguise my unraveling mind
Every fibre of my being wants to ask you to stay
I save my courage for another day
As I walk away my heart threatens attack
You reach out for my arm and gently pull me back
Be mine for this day? forget these feelings are strange
Tomorrow we return to our lives and nothing will change
I think of that day as I am nearing my last
More than the days of the thirty years passed
How can one day remain locked inside?
Still longing for all the nights we denied
The end lingers close and softly whispers I die tomorrow
Nothing can take back the day you saved me from sorrow

Mad Love
I love you.
We are in perfect harmony.
Both of us.
Holding hands.
You gazing down at the promise ring.
Asking me to never take it off again.
I'm smiling at you saying that I won't.
But then. . .
"I hate you!"
I scream and shove you away.
Tears streaming down my face.
I don't know what happened.
Why this happened.
I love you so much.
And I don't want you or I to walk away.
I just want you to treat me like you did before.
Treat me like your girlfriend.
Not something you can love one minute.
And than yell at the next.
I rip off the ring and put it on the table.
"I'll put it back on when you treat me like your girlfriend!"
You use to talk to me.
Not at me.
You use to love being with me.
Now you're always threatening to leave.
You use to be understanding of my problems.
Now you just yell at me when I freak out.
What happened to us?
Why are you acting like this?
Don't bring up my problems.
My anger.
And the times I yell.
Since when do you use those things against me?
I thought we were in love?
I'm going mad. . .
I'm bleeding again.
From my arms.
By my own hand.
You pull my into you.
And say let's never fight again.
The ring has returned to my hand.
I cuddle our son while you hold me close.
I'm sorry I'm broken.
I wish you would just leave.
So you don't have deal with my madness.
And pretend that you really love me.
I am undeserving of your love.
I want to be with you.
And I want our son to have his parents together.
Because I know what it's like to have them apart.
I just wish we would stop the fighting.
Stop my insanity.
Stop hating each other randomly.
Stop hurting each other.
Stop the screaming.
Just stop this madness.
Because. . .
I love you.
I love you.
We are in perfect harmony.
Both of us.
Holding hands.
You gazing down at the promise ring.
Asking me to never take it off again.
I'm smiling at you saying that I won't.

ConsumedI loved you
Mine heart I did give thee
Betrayer!
You had no love for me!
Blasphemies
You spake with those lips
Those tender roses
I so longed to kiss
You reached into my soul
And stole my essence from me
The innocent I once had been
You corrupted with your disease
I weep for what you have taken from me
That which I can never have back
I've cursed your name a thousand times
Though I'd love you again if only you'd ask
But the fire rages!
You stoke the flame!
As I turn the pages
I erase your name
Be gone from my mind!
As you are gone from my life!
Leave me be...
You were never mine
Release my heart
So I can release you
And die alone, in peace
In this winter of my broken heart, consumed
Mine heart I did give thee
Betrayer!
You had no love for me!
Blasphemies
You spake with those lips
Those tender roses
I so longed to kiss
You reached into my soul
And stole my essence from me
The innocent I once had been
You corrupted with your disease
I weep for what you have taken from me
That which I can never have back
I've cursed your name a thousand times
Though I'd love you again if only you'd ask
But the fire rages!
You stoke the flame!
As I turn the pages
I erase your name
Be gone from my mind!
As you are gone from my life!
Leave me be...
You were never mine
Release my heart
So I can release you
And die alone, in peace
In this winter of my broken heart, consumed
