Solemn

The sky's misty clouds shall fade
The lights one by one disappear.
And still in music she has stayed
'Till the darkened room hath turned to drear.

Her fingers prance across the key,
Until her eye hath no more sight.
For in her playing she must see
Or by a light the key turn bright.

But as sorrow weigh her heart too heavy,
Her hands, taught finger, slowly halt.
For heavy hearts mean much solemnity,
And none can dance when love hath fault.

It's when the tension is worst

That I feel like running

I hear the strife well-versed

Cutting words, so cunning

My lonely days are empty

Ridden with broken dreams

I try not to be angry

But within are blasphemes.

I need to escape this world

But there's no where to hide

When into shadow I'm hurled

I must retreat inside...

Is my life a fault?

Why does it have to halt?

I try to exalt,

But I'm locked in this vault.

I see the beauty around

And sometimes I can sing

But the melody is drowned

The song will start to sting.

Right now I quietly weep

The tears fall on this page

I wish I could just sleep

But fear I can't assuage.

I'm waiting for things to change

I don't know what to do

This world is utterly strange

I must find a way through...

When will he find me?

Will he perceive my plea?

I will remain free

This I can guarantee.
