Walking Through Shadows

The absence of a lonely night I’m too close to you; too close to hide This sadness everything I am Contradicting my heart as it turns to sand The need to walk alone and be Reflections of death; reflections of me This silence everything I know Surviving the end lest I turn to stone Arise, the darkest of my fears To face death alone for all those years I wake from ancient worlds of rain And now I exist in the darkest pain The absence of a wishing star With nothing too close; nothing too far This indifference weaves the night Caught up with lust before I feel the light The need to take from her my soul Always she smiles; always she knows This shadow master reading lives Beckoning fears that will steal your mind Arise, the angel I must shape The darkest of knights can still awake Too strong, but hatred is too much Awakening light that understands death’s touch
