In the Dark of Night She walks through the woods Slowly, silently, No welcome sound of leaves crunching underfoot Or owls hooting from above Just silence. The woods darkest hour A cloud passes over the moon, The stars provide a dim glow On the path she calmly walks. She has been there before, The path is worn down with countless footsteps Her footsteps. Then she sits, In the Dark of Night And cries, Wasting her life away.
