Unrelenting Shadow

You stick to the edges of my heart like the haunting shadow of memories left behind Leaving an inky trail of darkness that swarms up to my mind You stick to the edges of my soul, begging to be let in Creating a sinking hole that’s concaving from within You stick to me and I emit your darkness unto the walls so bright You stick to me and I create your shadows that’s sucking up my light Your shadow, it engulfs me creating a big cloud of darkness that I cannot escape It drowns me in my fears, in my long lost mistakes It brings out the worst in me so I can bring out the best of you And devours my soul from the inside out; and there’s nothing I can do You’ve become a part of me; you’re tearing me apart You’ve promised you won’t leave my broken, poisoned heart I am merely your puppet to do with as you please As you invade my soul you hear my final plea I beg of you to let me love; I beg of you to let me live I beg of you to remove your glove, that’s given you an ice-cold grip You are just my past begging to be let in You are just my past that’s take all I give Your shadow is just too much; your shadow I cannot handle I banish you from your clutch; I banish you, my shadow
