Love lies bleeding in shades of grey
With only the memory of some
Distant day
Velvet words so soft
And sweet
End in violence on a
Blood soaked street.

Emotions crawl insidious in my
Fevered brain
My madness is insidious
I'm in so much pain
The pain of lost love is hard
To bare
My nightmare's cling like
Autumn leaves In despair.

Like leaves on an autumn tree
Death awaits with grasping claws
Crimson tears fall bleeding,
Vanity a thing that is dead forever.
Parchment skin
Hugs the skeleton of lost beauty
Maybe I am forgiven all my sin.

Heartache and pain are here to stay
Black clouds envelope the manic
Thoughts inside my head.

In fear of these turbid invasions
I slumber in a sea of tranquility
Devoid of emotions.

"Love Lies Bleeding"
