Sweet dreams of dark, clear skies,
Ripping at the seams of each glance...

The sun sets in a quiet town,
All light fades from God's eyes...

You tied me up in words and promises,
Biting into skin, hindering this heart...

"Beware, beware, hold fast, hold true!"
I whispered this, but this you knew...

Night closes in and envelopes me
Sealing its deal with the deadliest kiss...

Whispered thoughts into your ear,
But they went unheard and disappeared...

Weak and despondent, waiting for something...
I found something bright and hopeful, lurking...

And if the stars refuse to smile on us,
Kiss me with tender love to make them blush...

Duct tape my mouth and silence these words
Somebody, please take me out before I speak...

Winter came and swept all branches bear
And from the hard soil, I simply lied there...

After all that has been or come to pass,
I find myself staring through shattered glass...

Descending lower into the chasm, deep, blackness...
Dante and Virgil persist despite the mounting...
