A Blackened Heart

Within the depths of my soul,

A darkness creeps and takes its toll,

A heart once pure, now black as coal,

A path of shadows, my only goal.

The pain inside, it never fades,

A wounded heart, that never mends,

A blackened void, where love once played,

A heart that aches, until the end.

The moonless sky, it haunts my dreams,

A hollow void, where hope has died,

A place where nothing's what it seems,

A realm of darkness, where I reside.

I walk the night, with no remorse,

A shadow's game, that I play well,

A heart of stone, without recourse,

A life of darkness, my only hell.

The echoes of my tortured soul,

A scream that echoes through the night,

A never-ending, gaping hole,

A heart that's lost, without a fight.

The darkness whispers in my ear,

A siren's call, that draws me in,

A fate that's certain, and so clear,

A blackened heart, consumed by sin.

My soul is black, my heart is cold,

A life that's shattered, beyond repair,

A path that's dark, and hard to hold,

A heart that's lost, and knows no care.

I search for light, but find no hope,

A world of shadows, and despair,

A life that's hard, and hard to cope,

A heart that's lost, beyond repair.

I've lost my way, and lost my soul,

A heart that's black, and filled with hate,

A life that's dark, without a goal,

A heart that's doomed, to meet its fate.

The darkness calls, and I obey,

A life that's doomed, to endless pain,

A heart that's lost, and can't be saved,

A blackened heart, forever stained.

Bleeding Moon

The night sky dark, the air is still

A lone wolf's howl, a distant thrill

The trees stand tall, with branches bare

The moon is full, and casts a glare

Her light so bright, her face so pale

A vision of beauty, she will never fail

But something's different, something's wrong

A faint red glow, where she belongs

The moon is bleeding, its light turned red

A sign of darkness, a path ahead

The trees begin to whisper, the wind picks up

The creatures of the night stir and wake up

A chill runs down my spine, a sense of dread

As the moon's blood drips, onto my head

A symphony of terror, a chorus of fear
