A Winternight Depression

Fading light i see the shadows fall
I hear the darkness sigh
As it rises from a dead man's pillow
Taking his last breath to the winds outside.

Threads of moonlight torch the ground
Show forms a cover of silence
Candlelight spreads its wings over my soul
The flame illuminates the night.

Searching for answers, my mind's deceit
With myself torn
To fragments, my life means defeat. Where
Is my saviour?
Why did he leave me alone? In my winter
Frost palace where
Sorrows are sown.

I try to find a way deep into my dreams. Try
To flee from
Cruel reality
To be suspended into a sea of emptiness
And never, never
Wake up again.

Did you ever hear a dead baby crying in its
Cradle? Did you
Ever see a black sun rising above a silent
World? Did you ever
Speak words no one would ever hear? Did
You ever scream out
What you feel when you see the pain?

I see a new day, the candlelight dies
The darkness meets the beauty of the light.
