Dark

Folder: 
innocence

I walked past the stream

and saw the starry sky

the moon stared with a gleam

and waved the evening goodbye

My thoughts drifted to the water

which reflected the dark night

I saw your face in the river

and glared into the black light

there was no one else there

yet I felt someones hand

as if a ghost was watching

my face crumble in the sand

Your darkness has its presence

and trembles with shame

your face was bloody and wild

but you died quiet and tame

I could not do anything to stop it

destiny has its will

sickness cannot be halted

but it spreads quickly to kill

the stream comes back to haunt me

but I visit every day

it showers me with guilt

but somehow, it helps takes the pain away.
