I Am Ready

In the dead silence
of the frozen night
the prince of darkness
and his many talents
breaks through
my fragile mind

I am blinded by pain
the pain of loneliness and sorrow
but he takes it all away
I know I will be nothing again by morning
when the frost
has halted my breath

the sweet melodies of the dark
called to me so softly
secretly leaving it's mark
with each caress,
so heavenly
and now I pay the price
so high in demand

I fell for his charms
the grandeur
of unfulfilled dreams
I was swept away unarmed
and when the night leaves
I am left to face
the nightmares of reality
my pain returning threefold

tonight I stumble
into his awaiting arms
trying to forget everything
to escape from harm
I can clearly see
the possessiveness
in his eyes
and I never want to leave
I am ready to say goodbye
to everything I once was

I believe every word
that leaves his lips
giving into the sensations
like ice on my fingertips
I can't get enough
of the attraction
embraced in eternal darkness
never again to see the light
