Shadows

Lonely eye’s squinting to see

A certain longing willing to be

Vacant places of a heart drowning

Untamed by a name of

One unpleasant man

Less than unfortunate really

Belonging to a life you’ve followed faking

Spilling lies as you hide as you smile

Behind a mask of a glass case

Now just shattered pieces across your face

Unable to see through you

Looking to you such a disgrace

Waiting impatiently you wasted

For years I’ll never experience

'Cause for me this shadow

I will not brake

You will never feel this

No, you will not take

This misery of a boy more than pure

Pride stricken and filled by tears

Weak, standing,

Shaking and alone

Speaking few words rarely ever shown

Sorrowful words of torture mixed among painful memories

We will both borrow for ever, both of us

I'm on my journey as sorrow overwhelms me

I look over my shoulder to swallow these tears

To hide from your abusing insults

Fading away into the shadows

Of fears that overwhelm me
