'''HER EYES ARE POOLS OF LIQUID NIGHT'''
</div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> Her eyes are pools of liquid night </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> And in them I am bound </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Words she whispered unto me </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Yet utters not a sound </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> Her hair is like dark ocean waves </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Her skin the ebon moon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Sanguine drips from ashen lips </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Death has come too soon </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> A rhapsody I once had heard </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Put my mind at ease </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> The rapid beating of my heart </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Near brought me to my knees </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> Evening’s chill caressed my form </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> But set my soul ablaze </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> At my feet she bowed her head </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Yet held her steady gaze </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> Time itself then held for me </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> As she stumbled to her knees </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Starlight blossomed in her eye </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Lips quivering silent pleas </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> A melody I once had learned </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> I began to hum </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Excitement then ran down my spine </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> And made my fingers numb </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> A ghastly sound my laughter took </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> To see her in despair </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Still, I gazed into her eyes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> So beautiful and rare </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> Silence overwhelmed me then </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Standing there alone </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Starlight faded from her eyes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Where once true love had shown. </div>
