Dark Descent~by PRIYA PAREEK

 

 

Dark Descent

 

When the clock struck 12
And the darkness began to rise
Our bond saw love when
Day descended into night.

In the hearts of heart
The soul made merry
The proposal was  clear
And the plans were to marry

In the silence of night
This love made some noise
It was felt by the air
When we spoke in low voice

Promises and oaths less demanded
And the faith held it strong
When souls were united
How could it go wrong!

And yet the night betrayed
In the full moon light
My star broke off
And love feel from great heights.

Day broke away from dark
And night felt alone
The union once cherished
Was perished and gone.
