In my mind I see shadows,
Pin needles obsessively pinching.
Oh shadow why do you look down
Upon my broken bones and body
Upon my quivering tongue and weeping soul
I lay here restless sobbing.
Wishing I were you
The one who roams without chains
Oh shadow why do you laugh
Do sorrows fulfill your greed?
The need to satisfy you haunts me deeply
swallowing everything in sight
Shadow can we trade places
Just for a day or so?
I see no reason climbing walls
For swimming is my nature
I see no reason searching
For shackles are my saviour
Oh shadow, why do you hide
Like a prisoner dripping in shame
Is your cloak saturated with regret,
In fear of what's to come?
Shadow please let me in
to witness your satisfaction
Despite the sky's endless venture
I host your disposition.
