Screaming Skulls
screaming skulls surround her as she walks
black teardrops fall down from her crying eyes
she prays to be freed from her inner torment
for peace of mind, and for true love as a prize
alone as the sands of time slip through the hourglass
darkness is all around her, it seems the sun never shines
she lives her lonely life as if she's under an eclipse
the screaming skulls bring out her own moans and whines
will her prayers ever be answered or will her time expire
might she feel what it's like to be loved and cherished
will light ever enter the darkness in which she lives her life
to chase away the screaming skulls, or all alone will she perish

Here's a word for this.....sometimes other languages have ferreted out these concepts we work and tease at...this one is complex and you bring the emotional tension right in there....
