Shattered Sunlight

The memory strikes the day The darkness comes to play Where everything I say Is not enough, my sunlight has to pay With everything undone No place left to run Another bullet in the gun For all I am; for hiding from the sun A shadow in my dreams For years I’ve planted seeds My presence a disease My perfect plan, uprooting all I see The darkness calls my name Your beauty just a game Deception born from shame I can’t give up until you feel the same My memory of the light Hopes some day that you might Run away, before I steal your sight But memories of my way Now shattering the day And I would scream aloud, but only for your pain
