The Lady Of Despair

The Lady Of Despair
Carol Roach

She moves quickly through the night
The Lady of Despair
Gathering minions by her might
For we must all beware
Onward she marches
No time to delay
Her ever-seeking body arches
Searching for her prey

She crouches quietly at your door
For that inviting light
Overpowering emotion and more
Quashing wisdom and blinding sight

She listens while your heart beats strong
Time being her greatest ally
You've lost if but one heartbeats wrong
She has no time to dally

Wherever happiness prevails
She unleashes her tale of woe
Causing all signs of joy to fail
Adding to her legions we all go

Many have attempted to resist her charm
For she is quite the temptress
Lost in her clutches succumbing to harm
Unable to withstand her duress

Alone I stand at my door to wait
To defeat the Lady of Despair
I cannot fail and seal my fate
For my soul cries out

I still care, I still care
