the night was growing tired and,
we were battling against nature.
this was our time to live.
our youth filled with the soul
of the cold desert night.
the devil's blood coursing through our veins
and eventually into our hearts.

you and i.
what fun we had.
we owned the night once before.
it was ours for the taking,
stolen by the morning light.
through darkness your beauty shone.

i lay there basking in the light
shining from your smile given to you by the heavens.
it was now our time again.
shadows surround us,
cackle with us.
we are the night and we are immortal.

i feel you.
we don't need love.
too young for love,
our hearts still tender from the womb.

tonight you are mine
and i show this to the shadows.
the fire still alive
fueling our lust.
trouble follows lust.
lust is brother to greed.
the shadows retort,
twisting into a different form of darkness.

distress is nigh;
the devil has done his job well.
she walks away.
away from me,
away from the darkness.
her fire still burning,
fueling her soul.
i try to follow-
the devil does not permit.

she is no longer mine.
the night is no longer her home.
she has become immortal:
she has become the morning light
and i will never see her again.
