Eclipse

On that eve the rain fell like knives
 As clouds of dark condensed above her
 Yet in bliss unaware, they loved without care
 Not knowing this night would devour the other

 By morn' she was drawn to silence
 As ignorance now flamed inside her
 A mind lost in these acts of violence
 Within walls of cold white that surround her...

 Falling walls of cold light that now bound her...

 So steal a line, recite a verse
 from the poet's play, but none could heal her from her curse
 Like a helpless child, she was held at bay
 For she wished to leave but the world stood in her way

 To her comfort then came the rain
 Playing a tune against her window
 But in death unaware, her mind was not there
 But halfway to a world she now craved to go...

 In dreams awake she prayed for release
 If only this scarred heart could finally cease
 Enough nightmares (for a lifetime) she had now seen...

 And no hope is born from this eclipse
 For the world will remain as cold as it is,
 Cold as it's always been...

 And I stole a line, but she could not hear,
 The voice of her love nor the end drawing near...

 "Follow mw"
 Spake the crow
 In tongues of old
 And she followed him

 And on the dawn of the third day
 She left behind this world of grey
 And even the rain froze to mourn as she slipped away...

 "So fragile is our slumber
 Awakened only by death's cold gleam
 For what are we but dreamers
 On the sharp end of a broken dream..."
