another world

black as a widow the night spills over you
witness yourself give into the moon
plucking at petals to love or love me not
not all who wonder or wander are lost

where have all the yesterdays gone?
desperately holding on
love is short forgetting is long
why does hurt linger on?

where do you go to escape all you know?
to another world
where do you go when the darkness takes hold?
to another world
somewhere they'll never find me

pull me in closer and don't make me beg
soft at the center surrender to flesh
nothing can rid me of thoughts i possess
pity the living and envy the dead

somewhere they'll never find
