I got lost in the shadows along time ago,
And I don't sense a time of changing,
Has he fallen or is he just lost too,
Has he run to the light alone?
Today I screamed out but the noise just echoed,
It travelled and danced alone,
Though I didn't move, like a bud to be sowed,
I just feel so tired today...
I twisted very slightly and heard the rocks move,
I nervously, sharply moved back,
In the dark came a growling that couldn't sooth,
The darkest and deepest of pain.
I jumped to attention at the withering voice,
That spoke in a smoking melody,
'My dear I didn't come all this way to give you choice,
The telling, my dear, is if you'd rather love.'
I didn't understand, he was cold and bemused,
Yet he spoke with this heart of love,
I wondered for a second then remembered I was used,
The man I loved chose a different path.
Three years later the lights were turned on,
My eyes almost blinded from the light,
And as I looked up with eyes of confusion,
The man I loved turned it back to night.
