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
