I See You In the Shadows

I see you in the shadows something misshapen moving through the dark. I am not afraid of what you are just come here closer reach out for my hand and I will do what I can to release your confined.... No more tears, no hiding in fears. No more pain, no longer insane. I see you in the shadows where looks are deceiving. You're a gentle monster would never harm a fly. You are not a vampire fearful of the sunlight just come here closer to me I am reaching out my hand take it, step up into the sun.... Warmth to feel, know it is real. No more sorrow, with love in tomorrow. I see you in the shadows and I see a reflection of me cause I've been there lived a life of solitude away from prying eyes. All I wished for was a hand to come closer to pull me free from the depths and reintroduce me to day.... A shy smile, hidden for awhile. Ran away from home, now left to roam. I see you in the shadows you are beautiful to me we are all blemished on the surface and deep inside. Come to me, even closer now your hand rests in mine I feel your trust grow you break away from the shell.... A new start, a revived heart. We are free, no more shadows to see.

I lived in the shadows for a long time and most of them have left me now. It was a great feeling when that freedom finally came after so many years.
