The Darkest Nights

The cimmerian gloom, entered into my bleeding heart
My entire superfluous existence was slowly torn apart
I still hear the reverberation of your blood curdling scream
"Please somebody wake me from this horrible dream"

On these, the darkest nights, the emptiness is surreal
Nothing can suppress all the ruefulness, that I feel
The loss of you was almost more than I could bare
On the darkest nights, I wish only that you were there

The teardrops fall, quietly as I stand, over your grave
I whisper to myself "damn you for trying to be brave"
He held tight to his gun, knowing you were unarmed
I prayed that you would escape completely unharmed

On these, the darkest nights, the emptiness is surreal
Nothing can suppress all the ruefulness, that I feel
The loss of you was almost more than I could bare
On the darkest nights, I wish only that you were there

The images of carmine blood, spreading across the tile
Haunt me until no end, my soul weeping all the while
The bullet that ripped though the air was meant for me
I wished that you had stepped back, and just let it be

On these, the darkest nights, the emptiness is surreal
Nothing can suppress all the ruefulness, that I feel
The loss of you was almost more than I could bare
On the darkest nights, I wish only that you were there
