Shadow

Shadow By: Brandon and Candice 

Shed some light on my darkest hour.
Close my eyes and let me see
what it is you think of me.
Close your mouth and speak to me.
Utter blissful nothings from the darkness
in which you hide
things that are prevalent.
Speak only truth and countless emotions.
Things that pain you to speak of.
Things that give you joy to share.
Things that in some disturbed way give me satisfaction just knowing that they haunt you.
Give me the key to the black door where your inner child is locked away.
Tucked in the abyss, reaching and crying and begging to be set free.

Ebony and crimson walls mirror what was your inner beauty.
And the entity of the pain you have endured is real.
Not knowing you shroud these thing and hide the beautiful articulation of your existence.
Hold me with your amputated hands.
and do not be afraid to point out my mistakes.
It is time we say goodbye.
It is sad that no one will ever know you...
This person I have tried hard to set free.
Take Care...
Goodbye until we meet again.
