The Shadow of You

I walk the empty rooms at night Searching for a ray of light. A shadow in the dark A scarring scorch mark. Shadow, shadow on the wall So many sorrows I recall. The barbed wire of pain Reclaims me all over again. Ravenously the shadow feeds on sorrow Slowly dimming the light of tomorrow. In the dark I hear you call Why did you let me fall? Grinning shadows all around Darkness my soul surround. I try so hard to let you know I did not want for you to go! Shadows that dull the senses Strip the soul of all pretences. My nakedness I cannot hide Chasm of death so very wide. In the still of the night I cry Shadow, shadow tell me why Tell me how Tell me now! But shadows can only grin As they twist the pain within. They consume the pain and grow Till all the world becomes, a shadow. At the breaking of the day The shadow will fade away. Waiting in the background For night to come around. Once again I'll walk the dark Knowing shadow's scorch mark. All I seem to know is this Forever you are my nemesis.
