beatuy sleeps entombed...(part 1)

beauty lays her head upon a pillow wrapped in silk
in a darkened chamber which shadows cant conceal

restless in her bed clad in a linen gown of white
with a sigh beauty wipes her eyes at another sleepless night

on the walls inside her head shadows start to taunt
familiar ghosts of times since past returning for a haunt

alone she lays upon the bed that she so lovingly shares
upon the walls the shadows dance into the dark she stares

in another time when beauty cried her comfort was at hand
a simple shift of her hips and she could touch her man

now too many times beauty knows that she must lie alone
wishing that her man was there for her to touch and hold

she wonders if her man will ever come back to her
expressed outloud with her voice and written it her in words

she know for sure that he is here just destracted by the dark
but she wishes that she could help lift the shadows off his heart

beauty sleeps entombed by the darkness he creates
wishing so much that she could help him escape

so in the dark while she sleeps her mind is wide awake
longing for the man she loves to share the bed theyve made

 beauty sleeps entombed (part 2 ~ the apology)...
 

 he sits upon his chair with endless words he writes
 trying to move ahead of the many demons he fight

 
 restless in his head armed only with his wit
 sifting though the dark and trying to deal with it

 
 of the walls inside his heart demons rip and tear
 into the darkness of his mind he can only stare
 

 alone he sits glancing up to where his lover rests
 trying to keep the shadows now from dancing in his head

 
 in another time when he cried to beauty he would turn
 to try to ease his burdon he now dumps it into words

 too many nights he knows for sure that shes had to lie alone
 he wishes he could change the time and be there for her to hold

 as he tries to fight through the war that he is in
 he only wants to win this fight and be a man again

 but his pain keeps his heart shadowed by the dark
 he must try to find a way from completly falling apart

 from his heart sorrowful sigh an apology he extends
 for making his beauty sleep alone in darkness once again
