The night terrors are receding now
Each new night brings added peace
Peace in which, I fear, causes me to lose you

Pain has been my constant reminder of you
My tears have filled your silence
In as much as my blood has
Filled your void of love

Dreams which were once filled with
Pristine violence
Have become a haven of hope

A hope of release
As if your death has unbound me
From the chains of your memory

If this be true
As I wish with all of my life
It is; but with the same I do not

If this be true
What life might I live
For I know no other without
The haunting of you

How can I survive
When I’ve n’t an inkling of
How to go about such a feat

You’re all I know
You and the pain that follows
Tell me why did you go
And leave my broken heart hollow?

You’re all I knew
Your silence
And cruelty

My heart’s peril you suffered me through
Is now all I know to live
Is now the very thing I require in order exist.

Am I, now, truly alone
Has death taken the poltergeist of you
Could it be I’m finally receiving my wish?
I suppose these fears are true
For the night terrors are receding
