casting doubt

deep sounds of the night invade my mind
refusing silence, in vain
my estranged heart cries while the wind sighs
the rain drums against the window panes

electric flashes of bluish white
distant booms will soon intrude
while the wind sighs my estranged heart cries
for the peace of the night's solitude

rage attacks darkness with brutal force
nightmares overcome my sleep
my estranged heart cries while the wind sighs
the heavens open and seem to weep

moonlight has disappeared with shadows
blackness excites the clamor
while the wind sighs my estranged heart cries
casting doubt in candlelit corners

I once was a messenger of love
but fate has whispered and moaned
my estranged heart cries while the wind sighs
the storm brings no calm, I am alone


casting doubt
