The Shadow

I go to you To comfort me To make me understand And to get me to see I had gotten to believe That you would be there forever And for all eternity It came as a surprise But when you were not there I could finally realize That you were just a dream Just a myth to wake up with A doubt to believe in a passing shadow If it would have only stopped to open up It could have become a part of you But closing And darkening itself Is what makes it the black and haunting figure passing by There's no reasons Or explanations It absorbs you knows you And takes a part of you away Leaving you with a pain of helplessness It hurts But does not care which is why it is now gone Only you are left To become stronger Than you ever were before
