.
softly i cry
pillow filled with screams
midnight's sleep
shattered by dreams

years pass
doubt remains
lies of loyalty
amidst spring rains

miles apart
communication broken
barely a word
between was spoken

i was lost
child without a mother
you were found
comforted by another

love we shared
together and first
diminished by the demon
when it slaked it's thirst

innocence
cast aside
haunting regret
our souls' tide

speak the words
admit fault
then seal the horror
inside a vault

love and forgiveness
comforting embrace
ease the pain
caress my face
