the day's melody

 
linger inside my past regret
taste tears of the day
in her morrow she forgot herself
she is rainbows at first blush
I am dark shadows at midnight

I walked the line of the damned
watch as I get to my feet
meet her in the light

kiss the diamonds falling from her eyes
capture them in a vial
as a trophy of today's victory

in a joyful way, the day cried just for me
she smiled inside herself
watching me sidestep madness
hopscotching insanity

giggling in spite of herself
she knows I understand a secret
with whispers on the wind
she told the sun above me to halo my head
so no shadows sneak up on me
