Sitting in this dark,
Still not as shadowed as my heart
The night hears your breath
Your very soul talking aloud
And for the first time I am listening
My mind wanders about
Meandering between my dreams and this reality
Wishing prayer was enough
To say the things I never said
Erase the lies that, I reasoned,
Wouldn't make anyone cry
These white lies were never supposed
To mingle with dirt
And become darker than this twilight
But tonight it seems the shadows here
Come out when surrounded by light |
