I
Pure
black skies burn
My life’s in a dangerous way
as black skies swirl above.
Empty sorrowed horizons,
I am a wastrel.
Any chance of light, or motivation, or change?
Passion is dead,
And what says emotion?
Lowering (darkly) is the pain.
Though I sense a world of possibility,
warm and bright
one look at the fading colors
outside
lets me know
my world will remain
cold,
dead,
without life.
As sure as the winter frost approaching
what once was my love,
my light...
is gone.
what once was my purpose,
my reason...
is wrong.
So black skies burn
above my head and in my soul.
Lessons are taught,
I never learn.
Love is loss.
Again and again hearts are overcome.
What once was her embrace.
is lost.
What once was paradise.
is gone.
So be it
my love,
she is dead.
So be it
my life-coil,
she is spent.
So be it
black skies,
we shall burn.
