Description: This is a metaphor for the pain our evils cause in the long run, death being an obvious exaggeration.
The shadows -------------------------------------------
A shadow grows in the corner
Eating away at the light
People who can't explain it
Simply tell lies all night
As if any fall for the devious web they made
They tell their lies with valor, every single one
They don't see the shadow was of their lies laid
Oblious to their irony they sit in the evil they spun
A shadow grows in the corner
Eating away at the light
The shadow grows larger every time
They do what is not right
The shadow begins to seal the room
From the sun's eternal glow
The worst part of their great gloom
Is the cause they'll never know
A shadow grows in the corner
Eating away at the light
The shadow becomes darkness
Heightening their plight
As chaos burns at their souls
And troubles become worse
When the thunder rolls
Up drives the black hearse
This isn't bad...The repetition of "A shadow grows in the corner Eating away at the light" is what really makes it stand out, and it definitely adds to it. Nice work.
that is a wonderful poem. I'm not lying, i swear, when I say that I can understand what you are saying, because it's pretty much what I've been trying to explain to my depressed friend. I don't really like the last stance that much but the rest is good.
