Dark Shadows

Angela Highberg 1974 (Texas)

Beckon thee sweet darkness
Ravenous eyes harness
Beyond the bloody shore
Beckon thee once more
Blackened tears thy cry
Only moment to sigh
Surround thee with wings
Only time heals thy scream
Hear thee sweet one
Light once among
Creep among the shadow
So deep yet shallow
Free thee from pain
To live sweetly again
