The Darkest Of Nights

Time denies us
Life cries for us
Time ticks away while we’re still
Blinded
Tales older than our time
Carnivorous sins tucked in the deepest most sorrowful parts of our hearts
Tests set in swampy mutinied land
Eyes unseen, life’s unclean
rose blood trickles on tattered body’s in a glimpse of shattered moonlight
monsters are hidden in the darkest of nights
to give gloomy children a few little frights
different hearts like broken Christmas lights
black poisons covered the heart in attempt to kill
thy heart is gone, gone far away
warm memories tucked in my mind lay still and cracked as they are dead
long hard screams heard in the darkest night.
But remember in the darkest of night there’s always a little light.
