Moonless Night
The mood is set
In darkened hues.
Shades of red
And blacks and blues
As I walk along
The silver lake
I contemplate
My life to take.
Dressed to the hilt
In a wedding gown white,
My hair shines not
On this moonless night
I turn to my right
Slip my feet in the water
Bitter cold it is
So I step out father.
I never thought
Life would end like this
It’s strangely romantic
The lake adorned in mist.
On the bank
I hear my lover,
Scream my name
While water covers –
My hands my feet
My arms my thighs
Begin to go numb
So I close my eyes.
Before me I see
Darkened hues
Shades of red
and blacks and blues.
On the bank
The man falls down fast.
He mourns for his love
Who has breathed her last.
In darkened hues.
Shades of red
And blacks and blues
As I walk along
The silver lake
I contemplate
My life to take.
Dressed to the hilt
In a wedding gown white,
My hair shines not
On this moonless night
I turn to my right
Slip my feet in the water
Bitter cold it is
So I step out father.
I never thought
Life would end like this
It’s strangely romantic
The lake adorned in mist.
On the bank
I hear my lover,
Scream my name
While water covers –
My hands my feet
My arms my thighs
Begin to go numb
So I close my eyes.
Before me I see
Darkened hues
Shades of red
and blacks and blues.
On the bank
The man falls down fast.
He mourns for his love
Who has breathed her last.
