Fallen

Darkness bleeds over my valley of sleep

Swallowing glimpses of lackluster light

Wasting my soul against purpose I keep

Dawn's broken promise yields prison of night.

Nightmares haunt reticent hearts until black

Eloquent dreams of Love's past did reside

Dying my death with me, not coming back

Brilliance, return to me, burning inside.

Lovelorn proclivity ending its reign

Memories fallen like ash from the sky

Shrouded this mortal's hope, easing the pain

Dimming the fire without asking why.

Sun pierces clouds over battlefields stained

Shines down on transients here to remain.
