Lamentations In Rhyme

The moon is red, there's a chill in the air;

I think of you my lady fair.

Here I lie, without a care,

'cept for maybe the smell of your hair;

The touch of your skin. And tonight as I stare,

Into the darkness I say a prayer,

That you might save me from this nightmare.

And as the night begins to grow cold,

I start to long for someone to hold.

All the pain I've caused, the lies I've told,

Since the day we met, in days of old,

Serve only to make my torment two-fold.

So now I ask, if I may be so bold,

Could you love a heart grown so cold?

'cause I can't go on, if truth be told;

The pain inside's too much to bear.

For all the lies and secrets I've sold,

Pull at my heart as it begins to tear.

But I'll hold on, come what may,

If I knew there'd come a day,

When you'd hear this humble plea,

And break the chains to set me free.
