**Wings of Fear and Love**

_A Queen's Thief Lyrical Gothic Poem_

_The dripping dawn _

_So gossamer _

_Fade to black of deep seclusion _

_Was it ever but a daydream?_

-

_Spilled blood thirsts for redemption _

_The night rain flows unceasing _

_-  
_

_Am I hypnotized...? _

_-  
_

_Trapped between death and life _

_On which side will the sun rise? _

_-  
_

_The pendulum swings _

_Tick tock _

_Quickened is my blood  
_

_Notes of memory  
_

_The bitter melody  
_

_Haunt my dreams of you_

_-  
_

_If I'm not me  
_

_I can't feel  
_

_Does that make me not real? _

_-  
_

_The night rain drowns the damned _

_You are my secret sun  
_

_Dry the sorrow of the night before I'm swallowed up_

_-  
_

_Remember what love is? _

_-  
_

_Pain _

_More welcome than surrender _

_Is that how you feel? _

_My sentiment forever_

_-  
_

_Wings of death _

_Brush my eyes  
_

_Or is that you taunting me with lies?  
_

_Angel feathers stained with blood  
_

_Should I expect anything less from the queen of the setting sun? _

_-  
_

_Terror _

_Dams my pulse _

_Life does not flow  
_

_But falls _

_For those caught in night's flood _

_Lost in love _

_Falling in the blood..._

_-  
_

_On wings of fear _

_I will fly _

_To your hell of sweet release _

_O queen of the setting sun _

_My wings of love _

_Still won't be gone_

_- _

_Heaven shine a light _

_Into the void of my soul _

_Or will you taunt me still? _

_From your ethereal pedestal_

_-  
_

_Damned to the dark? _

_I don't believe it's true_

_- _

_Queen of fear and love _

_My secret sun _

_Will you lead me from this night rain of blood? _

_The unceasing pain of love_

_Or will I simply drown in the silent air  
_

_This sweet snow of fear _

_-  
_

_The light will fade  
_

_From the star of your once bright soul  
_

_Your sweet sacrifice _

_Sealed in blood _

_Only your own life's lost love... _
