FAWM 50/90 song 16
written and recorded late July 22, 2022 (finished just before midnight)

lyrics

She only comes out at night
To feed upon my soul
She whispers her name secretly
And then she lets me go
And when the morning comes
Reflected in her eyes
She disappears discreetly
As if she is surprised

The halls are filled with Sunlight
So that nothing else remains
Of the secret hiding in these walls
That only whisper shame
The hours trickle slowly
When the Sun is in full bloom
And I have to wait for nightfall
To feel her in my room

It starts as just a shiver
A tingle in my spine
It spreads across my everything
Until I'm lost in time

Where am I when the sparks begin to fly?
And where is she when the day turns to night?
How do I come to terms with what I've done?
And how can she forgive me?

It started with the rain
But it didn't take much time
To blind me from reality
And shatter the divine
It ended with the Moonlight
Cold and dark and wet
The shadows covered everything
Except for my regret

It started as a shiver
A tingle in my spine
It took away my everything
And now I'm lost in time

Where was I when the sparks began to fly?
And why did she let me send her to the night?
Why did I let the hunger rule my life?
I hope she won't forgive me
