The Shadows of the Heart
The Shadows of the heart
Sometimes
Nothing stays the same
Where ever you turn
The wind
And its’ song
Can never return
In the shadows
Of the heart
I felt
Its’ bony fingers
Clasping
All of my night
The shadows climbed
I could feel the dread
All I wanted to say
All I have said
I cannot live
In a Shadowland
For my heart
Lives in light
I can give only so much
For I despair of the night
