.Bloodstained Hands.

Watch a blood red sun set
reflect in my eyes turning them into blood lust
I tighten my grip on the blade of regret
smoke curls through my chestnut hair
body tensed to the breaking point
scarlet tears crawl across pale cheeks
it was never supposed to be this way
but I promise you
I never believed it would end
...
My lips spread in a cold unfeeling smile
your eyes say everything you've hidden from me
ghostly whispers falling on deaf ears
the sun shoots a last ray of scarlet
before abandoning the world to shadow
I continue to advance feeding off of your breathless fear
I'm afraid it's too late for apologies
but I promise you
I never wanted this
...
The moon bloated and round slowly rises
listen to the lonely wolf howl to the world
my grip tightens around the handle of death
please don't try to run from me
I loved you once but I'm afraid you destroyed what we once had
don't lie through your lips when your eyes speak the truth
tonight regret will plunge through your love
as scarlet tears crawl down my cheeks
but I promise you
I will never regret it

My Lullaby

close your eyes
the sun has begun to die
bleeding across the horizon
sing me a lullaby
as the night shadows creep ever closer
your voice caresses the melody
the silent tremors running through my body
feel the beat pulse through my veins
in time with the pounding of my heart
I'm slipping into a space of time
somewhere between waking and dreaming
I hear nothing but your voice
I feel nothing but the melody waking the soul inside me
I'm spreading my wings
standing on my toes ready to jump
my whole body tenses
as I plummet off the cliff into the night sky
amongst the stars
my wings stretch there full length
carrying me on the wind of a thousand voices
singing the same song
the lullaby you continue to sing
even as I slip into dreams
you still sing that same melody
that wraps around my heart again and again
closing my eyes
your voice remains with me
singing my lullaby
