Shadows Fall Apart Whenever You Are Near

Shadows fall apart whenever you are near Step back from my life and they will always reappear Forever clinging to the blackness of my eternal night Screaming for my silence they conqueror it with fright Longing for sadness is their only existence goal Tearing away the light from the fabric of my soul Eating my pain daily is there only needed meal Devouring my hope and love so they can begin to feel Corrupting my very inner peace that I hold so dear Inhaling my loves courage and exhaling the deepest fear They swim in my ocean of tears to never ever part Living off the pieces of my cold lonely heart Getting stronger with my doubt each and every day Knowing our healing love is only a whisper away I call for you to battle for me with love joy and cheer Shadows will fall apart if you are forever near
