The Attack

He spoke more gently than before
good night

But the night was not good
It came with great darkness
It came without stars
They must have forgotten how to shine
Even the moon could not protect her

Through the restless night
The thief lay in wait

Through the restless night
The prey lay in distress

Somewhere before dawn
The thief made his attack
He tore at her body
He tore at her soul
He robbed her last drop of innocence


Even daylight can't dry her tears

Where is the freedom
Where is this place
Where night time is day
Where is the shelter
To hide from the storms
