Nightfall

Look behind these anguished eyes
Into the wrath that resides there
This tumultuous energy that lies inside
It is more than I can hope to bear.
Like a sky torn open by the hand of god
A torrential flood of disturbed thoughts
Swirling in my head as I maintain this facade
Seeing the signs as I cast my lots.

Nightfall could not come sooner
A shroud of comforting shadow
Dancing in the soft blue Lunar
Light that washes away my sorrow.

The day breaks, sanity does too
My sanctuary fades away
The sun wakes, I can't make it through
Not even a single day
Without her sweet scent
Without her demure visage
These memories I lament
All originate from this image.

Pain fades, that's what they say
But the years have not been kind
These blades, they had their way
With my flesh and my broken mind.
She looks at me and now I see
My memories begin to fade away
Her pain, it makes me free
Because I know it won't stay.

When those shadows come to pass
Let the night shine darkness within
Get lost in the stars, lying in the grass
Feeling the chilled air on our skin.
We can stroll leisurely, hand in hand
Through these abandoned streets
We'll set aflame the entire land
And cleanse from the earth all deceit.

I've read this several times... it has a rhythm and the flow is smooth.
