The Night Remains
. When darkness embraces the light
. Let the angels call my name and the covered
diamonds stay bright
. Will the marvel essence from my mortal
comfort disunite
. May I see to the hall of fame and let the demons
be polite
. Apart from myself, we are the stars, until the
leads reunite
. Eyes dilate as emotional wounds shimmer
of inflection
. Unwelcomed history is whispered in tears over the need to recite
. The louder you seem to hear the more of it you seem
to invite
. It gets dark, dysfunctional and yet, our mindset
reanimates attachments in sight.
. The unstrung heart beats of sorrow and a heart of song will remain on your right
. Maybe I will leave you tomorrow, yet within the
shadows you remain the night
