Shadow 4
-------------------------------------------

Shadow There was something magical- A spark to what we had An attraction, that when broken Nearly caused me to go mad And I was then caught In the throws of loss and fear I'd lost all I ever sought And so I shed my last tears I cried my soul to pieces And I begged you not to go But you stubbornly turned away Letting no emotion show Panic-stricken and confused Your old words whispered through my head And I clung to them tightly Knowing if I let go I’d be dead But the fear drained away And your words faded out And the only thing that filled my head Was depression and strong doubt No more tears left these eyes I really just ran out And my heart didn’t sting anymore It started to block everything out And for a time I lay Silent and dark With nothing left to say- The Shadow fled from light One day I realized That was my last break I looked around with jaded eyes And knew I’d had all I could take I shoved you, Reaper Far away So I could try to live Life day by day Happiness didn’t come But I forced it on The Shadow with a smile Woke the following dawn The first time I’d ever been so cruel You see Reaper, Though I’d lied my life away, I’d never fooled myself But this time the lie ran so deep And the façade so strong That I convinced even me That nothing was wrong But as they begin All stories must end And my white cloak is revealing my sin As it slips away The mask is falling From my tear stricken face And the pawns are all moving From their allotted place My castle is crumbling The dragons awakening And guards are fumbling To hide away Here I stand Once more alone I feel empty and exposed My real self shown You memory floods my mind once more As I stand at your door The dragon gives chase will you save me?
