Raven's Song

By Myself. For one of my novel's characters
1998

This Mystery
Double-edged cruelty
Echos down the hall...

She appears
No sign of tears
But your heart hears the call...

~Chorus~
Crying again, into the night
Crying again, her heart's flight
Crying again, a war inside
Crying again, nowhere to hide

Morning again
Smiles warm a guant face
A touch of your hand
Erases any trace
...She was....

~Chorus~

Darkness falls
That sound again
Creeping down the hall
If you're wondering...
..She was...

~Chorus~

She doesn't envision
What some call freedom
Freedom's been her prison
In the dark that's been her kingdom

Her hands are tied
Bound by blood
Fate cannot lie
But neither does love

...So it leaves her...

~Chorus~
~Chorus~

This song I wrote to set the tone for a femme fatale character in a novel I'm writing. One who had to choose between killing paradise or breaking her heart everyday to preserve it, but either way denied it. Maybe someday more to come on that...
