I sleep in the shadow of my tears
Painted by the moon on my eyelids
Carved by the rising sun on my cheeks
Dried and hardened to stone threads
Of solemn sorrow and sadness
Grown attached to my skin like scars
Like the ripened wounds on my wrist
From over the years
You were once not like this
I was once stronger
Your kindness withered like my trust
My faith decayed by your indifference
shadow
Shadow
Why are you in my heart?
Get out..
You have no right being there!
It’s not where you belong at all
I don’t even know who you are
You’re like a faint and distant memory
A vague shadow swimming through my blood
The scent of something I already forgot
And you won’t let me in either
Because if I can’t get you out
I want to know your story
But you refuse to respond
Everytime I see your face
You remind me of this feeling
So remote and irrelevant
Still so apparant and appealing
I want to know you
Or I want you gone
Looking for signals
That are missing
I need to run from this
Knowing either way you’ll follow
And since I can’t hide in your chest
I don’t want to know where I’m going
Someday I hope you’ll release me
And show me who you really are
Cause being in love with a total stranger
Is the scariest thing ever so far
