Sun's Shadow
The Sun’s Shadow burning
Through It All…
Rough exterior masks the heart
longing to love within him…
False happiness and
contentment hides the
wounded lover within her…
Joined in limitless love at the
hands of fate…
Separated and alone in all but
their love…
Plagued by illness and deceit…
lack of contact tarnishes the
mutual joy…
Hope of eventually meeting…
keeps their broken hearts
beating…
Her tears long for his comfort…
His broken body longs for her
embrace…
Their hearts dwell on their past
conversations…
Wishing they could be
together…
Knowing they must wait…she
stays for him and mourns him…
Knowing he must fight…he
takes comfort in her endless
affection…and prepares to fight
his demons…
Her troubled past has cracked
her heart and left it longing for
love…
His heart longs to fill the
holes…longs to make her
complete…
She clings to the hope of
having him…and is sustained on
desperate prayers alone…
Her longing banishes the
Shadow of the Sun…and gives
way to a woman and problems
the world has never been
allowed to see…
Through it all…he lives on her
prayers and shares her
strength...their forbidden love
all that keeps them here
together…
