Understanding In the Shadows

Understanding In The Shadows When midnights shadows swallow me I get this lonesome feeling. Sometimes I know it's not for me somewhere a heart is healing. They're questioning I love you's that were followed with goodbyes. Thanking God for words unspoken, at least they weren't more lies. They're crying heartaches healing tears right now they just can't take it. Tomorrow though still broken they'll know they're gonna make it. There will be more tears to come and fears they won't confess. But there will come a day some day it'll hurt a little less. There will always be that aching need and things that their heart craves. But once a heart is broken, hurt finds them in waves. There's understanding in the shadows for the lessons that you're learning. But don't let the shadows swallow you try to keep a candle burning. Don't be startled by the night if you should hear my voice. The shadows are now home to me but it was my own choice. But I don't live here all alone there's others struggling too. Still I have chosen to remain to help you make it through. Edwin C Hofert
