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
