Shadow Man
All in the dark
All in the loneliness
Lives a man
Whom is known as the Shaow Man
He sleeps with an empty stomach
He lives with a broken heart
He shuts his mouth, afraid to speak
Every night, he re-lives his tragedies
He cries every second, of everyday
Everyone has some knowledge of Shadow Man
And no one wants to be near him
Yet, if you look to his left, you will see a woman
When you spell her name, it is spelled K-I-A-R-A
She is called Shadow Woman
She lurks in her sappiness
She can't remember her happiness
She feels her pain, everyday
She wishes for it to go away
She rarely talks, afraid of emberessment
She locked her heart with chains
The gold key; never found
So, when you trek in the darkness
And you feel a hand reach at you
As you look down, you see her face
And his next to hers
Grab their hands
And share your warmth
