Eternal Shadow

In my dreams, I often see a child at the beach He's alone, building a sand castle with cheers As the sea waves rushes and hums in a high pitch Towards safety place, in haste he'll trot in tears Again there he is, but without his usual beam He is crying in silence, 'cause of pain in his heart For the monstrous sea wave has outwitted him Without mercy, rupturing his innocence apart The past, led his soul to mourn for many years Life became insane, for it is filled with sorrow Sadness ate him alive, he succumbed to fears Leaving me nothing, but his eternal shadow
