Atonement


This thing of darkness,
I acknowledge mine,
His gaze on my silhouette
Stuck in the moonshine

Unto the eerie winter night
Blood lit moon in crimson sky
Demons of past, clenched in tight
Choked on our bittersweet memories

Frozen love settling in dust
He knew, my heart did swear
Aghast in his eyes cried mistrust
Sealed lips still hoped in despair

Stars, I prayed; shine less in fire
Let not him see, my deep black desires
Oblivion may be - the only path to his peace
I stood there frozen, in the moment infinite!
(As I waited for my atonement)
