A Dying Light - In Dread Response

In the night I spoke your name in a whisper
You replied with a thundering animosity
It was so intense I couldn't hear
Will you please come again
Ears rupturing at the message
Such a heavy blessing it almost cursed
My blood expelled from my weakening veins
Will you accept my hollow shell
Attacked by the inane
Never wanted to match your splendor
A thought so unfathomable
Laughter and tears in the same motion
This jester has left your courts
For a short while proved to be far too long
Will you accept my hollow shell
Attacked by the inane
Rotten scowls of impiety
Virtue taken as hoax
Cackling beneath the shelter of disguise
So deadly
Trickery through false emotion
Witchcraft by flattery
Lights are dimmed and candles they burn
This spark will fade in the end
This spark is fading
Haze wax like tears
Pools of paraffin reflecting a dying light
Teasing the darkness to conquer
