Cold Night In Silence

I sat in front of a fire in silence 
to an cold night,
My thoughts started to drift watching the moon
I was only confronted only by darkness 
and a clear night sky .
 
A mindless puppet I become 
my strings are torn all over the place 
the bruises all over me 
cut deep all over me with blacken eyes 
my soul abused .
 
The creak bones are cold 
why he tells me what to do 
My eyesight gone bad I feel so sad 
The yelling 
the blaming and hitting 
Cutting at my soul each day and night .
 
 
His words that will never fad 
my body fading away fast 
The chance to turn wrong to right
Have fun with that ,
 
Wars-a-waging with old mans guilt
the world of his darkness what a mess
he is standing in the way of light 
my mind is going in circles .
 
Love and dreams 
are words abusers use only to better sweet
what they do to cover over the abuse 
to make them feel better 
Love is in dreams 
In books that are not true .
 
bloody thoughts, fear and lost hopes 
Is the darkness that stands around me 
I look in the shadows of Dark Angel 
lurk to see me bleed .
 
He whispered to me
In a soft bold voice 
your my puppet on a string com e dance with me
oh how my heart screams .
 
We sit along time in silence in much pain
of regrets
There are darkness in the air of unhappiness
It was like an autumn slack sharpening in the air 
It shadow shone beneath the black as if the 
Sun were gone like a sad love song .
 
Even the moon has the blues
My mind is race 
my body is aching 
My soul wanting to let go 
too run free 
The reawaken pain starts all over again 
I pray for an end .
