The Lenora Oct 2018
Feeding into the haunts
of my thoughts,
I begin to fade away

Slipping into nothing
as I enter yet a new world
I am of complete helplessness
I can’t seem to reach my words

You leave me defenseless
Yet I see your face
And I see the enchantment
of the deep and dark place

Let me go, set me free
Allow me to wake up
Save me from thee

Don’t hold me down as
I begin to suffer
I surrender to The Nightmare
‘Tis anything but wonder

Bring me a dream
Of lavender and cream
As I fade away in
The childhood screams

I’ll take thee away
Where I too love to stay
Yet I chase my pleasure
To the end of my way

Follow me to a new world
Of tragic spells of magic
We haven’t any want
Rather a suspicious bond
Of hateful love for youth

When I open my eyes wide
I’ll reach out down there
And as I flash you a gleam
I want you to sing
That sweet, sweet melody

I dance all alone,
In my castle on my own
While I lose myself in
That sweet, sweet rhythm

When arises the lune
I look down to you
And fall in love yet again
With that sweet, sweet tune

Comfortable with fright
I depend on your song
To bring me back to life
My dearest, Children of the Night

Could he love?
Oh, could this disfigured
creature love?

Will he soar beyond the
unlimited factor of love?
Will he accept himself the way
the village could never imagine?

Will he open his mind and heart
to
To

Oh, how could this creature love
when all he wanted
Was what he couldn't get?

Could he love?
'Tis far more possible for the
creature
To hate

Falling weak to the ground
Nothing to hold on to
This is the end
I can feel it arising
Deep within

It is the end for him,
her,
they
Yet they still keep going
While I am left
To embrace the end
The chilling, gusts of wind
To leave me
as nothing.

You can only smile
for so long
until

the seasons find you

unwrapping you from
luxury

throwing you into
the distortion

face it now

with your frown

Ignore the water
Seething within

Hide it in the room
With all your lies

Tuck it away for
Some other day
When the floods
Come in and out
