when darkness sheds the light

When darkness sheds the light…

It was quite a night…
He held your hands like never before.
The cool crisp air tingles in your skin
As you go past each cobbled stone.
(sigh)…like never before…
Those laughter were like sweet lullaby
Hanging still in midair…locked…intertwined
By the ethereal songs of the crickets in the bushes.
(sigh)…it was quite a night.
But such night like you would never want to remember….
Never ever…

as you turned in the corner...a gust of wind brought
shiver in your skin...when the stalking eyes
crawled like serpent into the night...

those smirking lips...those foreboding stares...
you knew there was something that made you winced.

I saw what they did to you and your beloved…
I saw the face, painted with horror…screams…but no one heard.
And that silent…innocent thing which bore witness that would
Never tell other than what is truth…was tainted
With that ill-intent, most wicked mind…and hands too
Light in killing someone fragile and innocent.

The bruises…the physical pain…the cracked face…bursting
Red blood spewing down your cheeks…unbearable.
Those pain you could bear…but losing someone you dearly loved…
Apparently left a tear so huge your heart could nearly explode.

And yet…you tried to live…tried to forget…
Those loving and cheerful eyes, though gone and asleep…
Never seemed to drift too far from the sober life you want
To lead….yes…it was awful to wake up each morning
Living in the horror of anguish….but you tried…yes you tried…
But the scar of that night burned you like sulfur…
Sizzling in the dark…they want to get more of you…they want
To shatter more of you…but you decided—not anymore…
Never again…
And so you put the wrath of the law under your innocent hands.
And each time they hurt you again…your rage strikes back
Ten times stronger than what they did…
It was hard to sleep…the pain…the grief…the hatred…kept on
Haunting you and would not let you rest…
And it would not until you find what your hands
Had been meaning to give…the wrath of your wounded soul!

But love has brought a new beginning this time…
But love so depressed…love too desperate to give and get
Would not want you to live in the darkness…
That love whose heart saw and knew the face of the truth…
And the law that besets the vengeance you sworn to forget.
Ah…(sigh)…that love whose heart was broken…like your
Heart so aching…
And even though he saw what you did…he would want to give
You another chance to live…
And because his love knows that if he uncovers the truth
Of your tainted hands…he would lose you forever.
And so he surmised…maybe he should put the law upon
His hands…and he sentenced you…NOT GUILTY!

I saw what they did to you…
And I also saw that the darkness in your eyes
Will now be gone…but still…that darkness has
Shed the light forever….
But no darkness…however great, can shed the truth!
For I saw what you did to them too…
