Darkness

Darkness rings, while irony sings, as I watch you walk away;
Broken dreams kiss silent screams, while destiny comes out to play.
Promises shattered, egos flattered, forever a lyrical farce;
Frightened displays, of turmoil and rage, buried deep in a fragile heart.
Two souls conjoining, eternal embroiling, to enlighten love's wry façade;
Reality's learnings turn immortal yearnings, into a bitter gray shod.
Questions arising, a blackened horizon, a tear is all that remains;
As once again the darkness rolls in, and the curtain goes up in flames.
