never succumb

 
venomous departure be still my riotous heart
keep dreams close and visions closer still
in your hidden chambers be real

victimless pain with all his ego will never get in
I won't succumb
my rage burns as it rises in indignation

sleeps the dawn
the tides turn back and run
they will not on my aching heart
within my sacred vow
there is room for only myself

guilt is the music I dance to
quietly keening within
serenading my demons
lady darkling I will always be

in my onyx kingdom
I alone am Queen
