Darkness drowns out the light
Pale moon turns blood red
Howls fill my thoughts
Bulbs ferment in comparison
Hearts flutter in competition
Beats like a drum
Inside and out
No matter what
Misty eyed
Cars drone by
Headlights cut the night
Horns bleed
I cross the street
A shadow in the night
A broken image of a past long forgotten
Glasses shatter against the ground
Tears glisten red in the moonlight
Sobs rip ribbons like a knife
I hear the voices
Like beats of a heart
Like screams in the night
Let me go
Let me live
Let me die in peace
Dreary existence
Blood red moon
River flows
Hopeless Midnight
A child of the night
A worshipper of the darkness
That is me
That is you
We are both together
In the night
Under the moon
In the darkness
Heads together
Huddled together
In an alleyway
Love me
Don't leave me
I am lost without you
Running down the street
Shadows cling to my feet
Fear grips my very soul
Life without sorrow
Love without question
Chase without reason
In the cool moonlight
In the dead of night
I see the reflection
In the puddle
In the gutter;
I wanna go home
