Darkness, My Mistress

The shadows of the night A veil for my soul My heart beats cold and still As it sinks further into the abyss Darkness my mistress Cloak me from the light hide me from the sun bring forth an eternal night through these veins of sorrow flows an endless thirst for more I am bound by bloodlust forevermore I yearn for a taste of life As starved dreams begin to spill Eyes that once held love Now hidden by death’s pale embrace Blackened skies now mourn Another day’s demise The weight of immortality Claws at tearless eyes Darkness my mistress Cloak me from the light hide me from the sun bring forth an eternal night through these veins of sorrow flows an endless thirst for more I am bound by bloodlust forevermore
