Shadows

Shadow is my element
In the darkness I love to be
Shadows are my secret friend
Because they choose to hide me
A shadow’s warm embrace
Comforts a stubborn mind
A shadow hides my face
And these broken tears I cry
Shadows hide my bleeding
Shadows hide my scars
A shadow keeps you from seeing
Theses cuts upon my heart
Shadows hide my insecurities
They see what no one ever will
A shadow is my deepest sea
Shadow is how I feel
A shadow is just empty
Darkness in tattered light
A shadow is just me
How I feel on sleepless nights
