Ephemeral Sunshine

By Mnemora

Back and forth, Dark and empty
rushing by me, I know I'm falling.
In a place where the black shadows roll,
so rests my mind, my heart, my soul.
Endless, depthless, wholly helpless,
I take to heart that it could never get worse.

Her bleeding heart fills murderous hollows,
I fill it up, then hide until it calls again.
She loves me, hates me, now she rapes me,
Please cut it out till we're back where we started.

Where the dark black shadows roll,
Over, under, through my soul
Loveless, mirthless, lightless, breathless
My soul fades as the last ray of sunshine dies.
