Spoken softly into the night
Though in the dark, he speaks of light
Promises of brighter days
Are only words in the haze
Of sleep and wake within her mind
Stirring dreams of a tender kind
Replacing nightmares that used to haunt
With sweeter visions that seem to taunt
In a love so true she just can’t conceive
But he won’t give up making her believe
You see her dance, you see her sway
You see her as just easy prey
But see what hides behind that face
Waiting to put you in your place
She’s not so sweet or naive
As you once seemed to believe
The beast within has found its flame
Never again will it be tame
If you attack she won’t back down
She is finally standing her ground
Tonight I need you to love me
Like I am your one and only
I want to feel your need
In every loving deed
Let me feel passion in your kiss
And in each lingering caress
I want to feel the earth stand still
And feel time stop with every chill
So hold me close and kiss me sweet
Together we can be complete
Hope lives on within this heart
That one day healing will start
This shattered heart will some day mend
And to loves sweet grace it will bend
To once again hold someone tight
With these arms and through the night
Kiss him sweetly in the morning light
And with his caress my heart takes flight
Hope lives on that these dreams will come true
That one day soon I will wake to you
The poison flows through her oh so sweetly
As she fades from this world so discretely
Fading away from the masks and charades
Through her soul the sense of freedom cascades
No longer is she shackled and bound
To a heart that humanity drowned
With its scorn and such contempt
Hid behind all things that tempt
With this freedom newly found
She has reached a higher ground
There are no more tears that she will cry
For all in life that has passed her by
But this freedom has come at a cost
For her heart is now encased in frost
