A melody rings throughout,
Laugh of happiness,
A wail of despair.
Like betrayal thinly veiled,
Hoping and praying for mercy to rain upon my being.
Eyes shake for what's to come,
Laughters rings like a shrill at night.
The wails get louder,
Waging a war against the shadows.
Tears splatter like a flower in bloom,
Red spreading like the dread within.
I forever wail in despair,
The shadows laugh in mockery,
A past to never return.
