The Skies of dark gray have vanished from my view  The touch of her warm embrace has left many tears  To be deprived is to remember the pain of one  This winter of black is the harbinger of my fear    With each passing day my love for life withers away  The face of joy I once wore is now only a dream    And with a kiss the darkness began to seal  the bitterness and the joy. (I now know)  My sadness birthed this pain    And with a sigh, the walls of my sanity  collapsed within and without(I now see)  My life will fade away  This is forever    This facade of fading happiness has been shattered  Sense the moon rising over my plains of despair, Eternal  I shall rest in this dead garden decorated with tombs  And await for her arrival from behind the black sun    At last the souls in the candle fade  And my eyes shall rest forever  With the portrait of the shade  Carved deep in my dying soul
