Bloody Twilight

Bloody Twilight

Upon the blood I spill tonight

Twilight's breath of unmistakable sight

No end do we see before us

Just something bigger than the rest of us

Power from the moonlight shines

No life spared as the wolf begins to whine

Siblings and parents long and gone

The wolf waits out until the Dawn.

The Dawn the wolf sees is not her release

But only add to the pain and the crease

A crease that has made its form in her heart

For it can not beat right from the start.

The wolf watches the starry skies

Tears in her golden eyes

Her wounds ached from the rigidness

Inside her she felt just emptiness.

She was scared and alone

She hated to be on her own

Maybe she'd grow up to be a great mother

And bear cubs for a very proud father?

But she didn't see anything past her eyes

Like a catcher in the rye

Pain filled her eyes like a sea

Nothing clicked in her like a key

Pain was growing in the unbreakable heart

But maybe this was finally the part?

The Part where her life would pass

As she lay bloody in the dewy grass

Life wasn't going to be kind tonight

No, not tonight

This night

In this bloody twilight.

Author's Note

I wrote this years ago, and it's been sung onstage before by my close friends the Arcane Opposites/Estimated Stabwounds. I'm proud to say I once wrote songs for them. Maybe you'll hear this one day? Let me know if you do. Thank you.
