Darkened Souls: First Collection

Tearful Rains

Dark grey clouds hang low in the skies

The reflection of a hard life reflects in her eyes

She wills the clouds to let out their rainy cries

And the wind to let out its agonized sighs

"Don't worry child, it will be alright

You will be better again by tomorrow's night

Then we will see one of your favorite sights

And you will learn the true meaning of flight"

Words of past offenders echo in her mind

People who were once so gentle and kind

Turned on her with the first excuse they could find

She hadn't seen through their mask; she had been blind

"I wish to give a special note of gratitude

One without the slightest attitude

To one who has never once been rude

And has always found a way to find light in the crude"

The solitude of night and the differences in the day

Have caused her to once again change her old way

For the gods no longer listen to the words she has to say

They just let Fate send her whatever they may

"Look at me, trust me, take my hand

I'll take you away from this hell band

Just get on your feet, you must stand

I won't ever let you go, I am your new brand"

Bitter hatred went coursing through her veins

As the clouds above finally let go of their tearful rains

And she stared at the ground, waiting for the trains

So she could ride far, far away from these tear soaked plains

"I love you baby, I'll never leave you

That's one thing I could never do

Oh gods, if you only knew

You've brought my life into a whole new hue"

The pain brought her to her knees as she remembered his lies

Love had become something she had come to despise

All because of one man's painful demise

And how he had once treated her like his nightly prize
