Into the night the silence stretches
Even the wind does not wisper
The quiet broken only by one
Their soul bleeding everywhere
They cry
Where am I?
Where is my heart?
Was it me?
Is this me dripping to the earth?
A single moment of desire
The blazing embers have gone cold
Two hearts confused and broken just died
Tears falling in agony
They cry
Where am I?
Where is my heart?
Was it me?
Is this me dripping to the earth?
An unending pain fills up the void
But it only leaves it hollow
It's cruel to feel full yet so empty
But only pain can bring peace
I cry
Where am I?
Where is my heart?
Was it me?
Is this me dripping to the earth?
Please can't someone give us our freedom?
Cut off these chains holding us back
Can anyone help us find ourselves?
Find our way to fly again
We cry
Where am I?
Where is my heart?
Was it me?
Is this me dripping to the earth?
See it go here and there
Moving about without concern
It will set down for a tenuous moment
Then it lifts up to land anew
Going along without a burden
It goes from here to there on a whim
Be free, little leaf on the wind

i like it
Cool beans, thanks. I had to ask since our conversation is what sparked this one.
There are whispers of shadowed light
They dance across the snow-crisped earth
Enchanting faeries evading site
Sparkling with mischief and mirth
Little diamonds in the heavy night
Beauty to give my words birth

this is very pretty
Thanks, I'm glad that you like it.
He had been mired for so long
Always sinking, slowly sinking
He struggled to stay out
He struggled so very hard
But fighting only caused pain
Falling and falling so far
Deep into the abyss
Down into the dark with a smile
With dreams of crimson rain
And pleasure of sweet nothing
For too long light burdened him
With their truths, their morals
He lived with this harsh weight
Suppressed just to sooth them
Their image burning his soul
Falling and falling so far
Deep into the abyss
Down into the dark with a smile
With dreams of crimson rain
And pleasure of sweet nothing
To be free is burning joy
Only him, it's just him
Crazy but not insane
The laughter in the night
Unburdened and only him
Falling and falling so far
Deep into the abyss
Down into the dark with a smile
With dreams of crimson rain
And pleasure of sweet nothing
No struggling and no pain
Free as the night wind
Happy as the demon in the dark
There I sit on the border
A hair's breadth from the edge
Wondering what there is for me
Taking a slow breath I lean forward
Falling I'm alive
Darkness take me I pray
If I stay here I'll die
Darkness guide my feet
Darkness take me forward
On the other side it's there
I seek my inner peace
A soul free of burdens, my wish
With an open mind I step over
Beyond I'm free
Darkness take me I pray
If I stay here I'll die
Darkness guide my feet
Darkness take me forward
Darkness give me strength
Darkness grant me tranquility
Darkness ease my pain
Darkness take my hesitation
I will not fall and I will not fade
My hope isn't something I'll trade
No matter the bitter things I say
I know tomorrow is another day
So when dawn comes again
I'll still be here to welcome it in
