As the last rays of the sun
Floated over the mountain.
I waited for my love to come rescue me
I was trapped in a prison I couldn’t escape
It was the prison of my heart
I waited for him to save me
Something had to be wrong
He was not coming this time
It was as dark as the emptiness inside
Why had he not come?
What was keeping him this time?
He was supposed to come with the dusk
Something was very wrong
I could feel it in my blood.
My mind calling out to him
Getting no response.
He wasn't there anymore.
But I should have been there
Protecting him by day
As he did me by night
As he did . . .
He couldn’t anymore.
