She sits in shadows Displaced by life Forgotten by self Dejected by all those Crows that fly Northwards A Sparrow hawk calls She remembers him but utters nothing that is desirable He flies onwards Never to look upon her Dark princess Of lower grounds She holds fast and keeps council with demons Demons who roam the corridors of her soul Pulling the cloak over her nakedness as the stage Β illuminates the way An actress of sorts Another west end show A vagabond who plays her hero Darkness falls from her And all who are touched by her fateful hand Will linger no more in sun drenched meadows Too bright to see Too good to believe Her fearfulness becomes her Her innocence laid bare upon a slab of false regret Be he gone from her mind She may be free For what lingers a princess in darkness Than a love betrayed The darkened hour may find its way into any heart The broken man Can do as he tries But stumbles when he beholds her stare.
