It's Cold In Your Shadow

by Midnight Sun   Oct 6, 2007


I've grown accustomed
To only feeling numb
That's what happens
When there is no sun

You took my only light
And hid me far away
My confidence is gone
My free-will gone astray

No-one knows my name
They only know yours
You are the tidal wave
Beating on my weakened shores

I crouch behind your lime light
And protect my sensitive eyes
Sudden light hurts me
So long I've been in disguise

Please give me something
Outside of your ego
I need something to warm my bones
For it's cold in your shadow

    "No one knows my name
    They only know your's
    You are the title wave
    Beating on my weakened shores

    I crouch behind your lime light
    And protect my sensitive eyes
    Sudden light hurts me
    For so long I've been in disguise"

    I think my favorite stanza was the third one, with the last line in that stanza being my favorite in the intire piece. I liked what was being said overall, and yet again, I liked your viewpoint. However, I do feel that your weakest line was your closing one. What was being said was important and good, but I just feel that this stanza was a little broken up, and didn't flow as nicely as the others. Sorry.

    That's sad. It doesn't make me like this person much either lol. I like how you tied it all together and stayed to the same no sun theme.

    fav line.. please give me something outside of your ego.

    As i read this i felt trapped within it...not one word wasted, far beyond a "touching" poem, truly fluid and emotionally inescapable, i didn't just see the picture you painted here, i became part of it...simply awesome piece...
