I am a monster

Do you see my claws and
feel my fangs?

Do you hear the words that
call me a devil in disguise?

I'll hurt you,
so please go away

You say love will keep you
safe but I'll hurt you

I'll chase you,
scare you and yet you don't run

You baffle me,
allure and change me

You say love keeps you here
but why do you look so terrified?

Please, don't go...

Take me back to a place I call
home,

Where the hill rolls and the sun
shines,

The birds coo and the crickets
sing,

The hearth that burns with a uplifting
warmth,

To a place beside
you,

A place I call
home.

Midnight is slowly slipping away from my life

Desperately I try to hold her close but she slips away between my fingers like grains of sand

The moon disappears behind the rolling hills that I quickly run to, wishing Midnight to turn and run into my arms

To feel the soft breeze brush against my cheek and the softness of her hand in mine

Our eyes that stared at the stars that guided us home,
now stealing her away from me

The sun rises and my body collapses and only then did I know that Midnight was gone

Time and time again
I become more numb
to the pain by each
passing day
The more I forget
the warmth and
passion I once had

The lonely knight wandered the endless dark valley and rotten carcasses,
heavy and exhausted he continued on.
He crawled away inches from death for the princess of his life,
his lover,
for he'd do anything for her.
She was his everything.
