The Taker

It was hard to decide which to post, but this one didn't get much love, so I thought I'd give it another go.

-----

A cold, cold night despite the heat

Endless talk in the ghost still night

Brought to life by this Summer mist

So enthused, in a reclusive way

The hours fall like the rain doesn't

Soon birds will sing

Alarm clocks ring

But not mine

For on nights like these

There is no time

Bliss creeps in like it's all been reset

Masking the pain the taker has left

One thing my mind clings endlessly to-

There's a pain in my lungs...

And it must be you

The line of defense feeds on the pain she leaves

But the walls fall as the pain recedes

In time all remembered's the happiness freed

 She'll give and take everything you need
