Why?

Weeping shadows lingered upon the shallow sea
Distant whispers muting my fervent plea

Drenched in a maroon agony, I called her name
Cross hung high above the altar, it is myself I want to blame

Locked windows giving light to a screaming tree
Shrouded in a forever of darkness, I want to flee

Leeching upon my wasted years, it felt like the hour never came
Doomed by the mist of sorrow, her burning flames I could not tame

The forgotten elegies strike my temple to cage the free
Devoured by the shadows I was, would she not agree?

Night fell as if slain by the sun, Oh implicit pain!
Queen of sinister dominion, is this your claim?

The salvation for which I pine, flares and then dies
The essence drips, and the hollow night no more cries.
