Shadows and Dust

Shadows and dust
are all that you left behind
distant images of a past love
my soul is confined

I remember the words you whispered in my ear
as you walked away
they were all too clear
remembering how you left that feeling
shadows following
dust healing

you lied so many times before
why would this be a different story
you lied to my face
you stole loves glory

shadows and dust
are all the remain
photographs of a time there was hope
shadows and dust caress this old heart
you stole my love
how can I cope

shadows trick your eyes
as dust withers your soul
feeding to you lies
love paid the toll

trickery in your mind
shadows confined
trust abandoned
dust lingers behind

there is no more beating in this black heart
your shadow sickens my eyes
no room for love when I've paid my part
alone we stand
two of the same soul
one lingers far off
the other lingers at home
