Love Lies Dark
Love forced down as anger takes control
Of mind and body heart and mouth and soul
His being shifts your love becomes chagrin
His words profane the feeling deep within
Shrink before his might
Demons in the night
Reinforce the walls which block loves way
Words turn into fists and deal the blows
Which strike the heart and crush the bloody rose
And yet like you a shard of love remains
Despite the fear the anger the pain
Soon you’ll leave you muse
Find someone you trust
Leave behind the things you hoped he’d be
Was it you that caused his mighty rage
And loosed the beast from its fragile cage
Or has some haunting past come to the fore
Blotting out his dream of love once more
Momentary blame
Everlasting shame
Love lies dark drowning in his depths
