You stand so near
So near I can hear your breath
One step further, just one more
I followed you so often and so long
You never heard my foot fall
I was only a flickering shadow
I flew so near but I could not make it
You never knew I loved you
And now you think I’ve gone
I’m here just a footfall away
I have searched and I have found you
I followed my heart – if only you knew
You always thought me a peril
‘Stay away’ was what you thought
If I had only known before I felt this way
Your smile is a secret whisper that only I can hear
And you have called me close
I’m just that footfall away
Please step closer, the dawn is near
With the pain you have caused
If I stay much longer I must surely disappear
I love you my friend
And this dark angel is I
I cast a shadow of a face but it is here
Will you not follow my shadow?
Will you make it tonight?
Incantations I’ll recite
The flames I’ll ignite
You’re so strong; you are my knight
A man I can no longer fight
And today it’s your neck I bite
*i am not a prowler and have not been following anyone*
