A translucent shadow
Somewhere near...
You shake your head and shudder,
When you catch a glimpse
Of ghostly face
Just at the corner of your eye
But even a single step
Will build the wall between us
As strong as steel.
And there, behind your back
I will disappear
into silence.
I'm always here
Between the shadows
Though I can't tell myself
What brings me to life
Again
And again
And then
In a flash, I'm gone,
Like a quick spark.
Some call me a beast,
Some call me a wraith
Some just call for me,
My world to them is a strange dream.
And I am the one
Who whispers behind the door,
Whose life is on the other side
of Darkness.
