My Nocturnal Demons

Of all those things I should have known

Those self-defeating seeds I must have sown

Always blundering into the unknown

And yet I’ve just become another stepping stone,

It’s lonely out here on the perimeter

Too many dark and lonely nights to visit her

Yet, somehow I’ve become the inquisitor

Out here I can hear the battlefield ghosts mutter,

There was this translucent goddess I must have missed

A risky bet on every soul I’ve ever kissed

All my sorrow dissolves into the abyss

Too many lonely souls for me to assist,

The rusty armor of battles gone by

Leaving a morbid grimace and a forlorn sigh

Whatever happened to you and I ?

Old emotional wounds that never seem to die,

The seasons will forever change

And you will go on estranged

As empires fall and humanity will rearrange

All the time you’re thinking isn’t life strange,

But the apparitions they call from the past

That infinite shadow is always cast

Does love ever really last?

All the times my nocturnal demons clashed.
