Lover's Call...

-->

He who calls in the dead of night

From the forest dark and lonely

Calls me why, with a fading cry

“I know not”, I lie, I lie!

When morning chases away the night

I put on my mask, I am lovely

I earn concern, my critics discern

“You are the best”, they lie, they lie!

Comes dusk again with threat of night

All fears crawl in slowly

That haunting call, so sad, so small

“But I loved you”, not a lie, not a lie!

Mirror shows a face, at night

Beautiful, serene and lovely

Take the mask away, no beauty shall stay

“I am scarred”, why lie, why lie?

Accuse me not, I say oh Night!

Go away, cant stand being lonely

For you insinuate, "You killed your teacher, your mate"

“But he would spread my secret”, I lie, I try..

Memories that hurt, beg don’t come with night

No mask, still he loved though not lovely

By lover’s touch, his kiss, amour complete, nothing amiss

“Shall make you so pretty”, he tried, he tried!

Mask he made, so pretty in light after night

Now I can rule the world, with a face so lovely

Murdered him dead, on the night we wed

“I do love you” I whispered, such a lie, such a lie!

Now he is at the door, I can bear no more

Must answer his call, can’t live like this at all

I walk into the forest, forgotten the rest

His grave in peace, he smiles with ease

Slit my wrist I must, ah… peace at last

I shall wait here still, comes death till

And takes me to you, now I am true… so true!
