Dark Skies

Skies of dark befall my eyes
Silently I listen to "innocent" lies
Ironic how love will be my demise

I cry and scream in pain but nobody hears
Thought I was strong because I face my fears
But now I am helpless to this river of tears

Cold steel, knife tempered in the night
I remember how your love gave me flight
Darkened soul; could death give me light?

My world begins to fade, the world is pitch black
I thought that it'd be light, but now I can't go back
And I thank God for the life I've lived and that I now lack

Body is withering, no longer will I beg and plead
Look at the carving on the bark and you will read
"Jane Doe, R.I.P.... I know I'm alive when I bleed"
