Darkened Winter

The darkened clouds seem to grow nearer, as I try and turn away.

The devils wind, seems to pull me closer, as my heart begins to sway.

You want me more and more each day, but you break my heart in every way.

You promised salvation, love and joy, but you weren’t here to stay.

It begins to rain, and the light fades to black.

I cannot see a way forward, only a long way back.

The night invokes great fear in my mind, because all you do is play.

You play on the thoughts and feelings inside, and turn them all to clay.

Nothing moves when you are around,

its just frozen solid to the ground

I lie awake wanting to hear something, but there’s no sound.

I will be forever tied up and bound.
