• when you left me
    in the dark
    i knew that light could never be
    and now my soul is so dark
    i know i will never be free

    your love opened my cage
    but you shut it again
    now i lie bleeding on the page
    blood and ink flowing from my pen
    onto the cold steel stage

    often i dream of your face
    and the way you used to smile at me
    but that joy has been erased
    and it is so dark i cannot see
    but for the love i can't replace

    here i shall die forevermore
    now that i am alone in the night
    bleed my veins upon the floor
    until the blood creates the light
    in its pools of gore
