My starry, starry knight

Swirls of black

Swirls of blue

I thought he was my dream

come true.

Captured so long ago

By his smile, by his face

By his seeming endless grace

 

Now there’s no star

No light

No way to live my life

Only darkness

Only pain

Night after day of endless rain.

Where’s my castle

Where’s my pride

Where’s my carriage ride

to leave this life

flames of black

All Around

Faceless others without a sound

 

Burned by the light from beyond

Singing my lamenting song

Praying each night for a way

To make this my last day

 

Sadness in the morning light

To find I’m still . . .

 

Alive.
