Shadow

by Alexander   Aug 9, 2007


The light leaks through the crack in my door
Onto the outside ground
There my shadow can be seen
Going down to one knee

It prays for its mother in heaven
And its father who's no longer around
For its grandmother who's slowly dieing
And its true love who's now underground

Few people like this shadow
Because of what its seen
But some people love this shadow
Because of all its misery

They try to comfort this shadow
But comfort cannot be found
This shadow has been though to much
And this shadow has lost its heart

Anyone who meets this shadow
Will wisper behind its back
'Isn't this the one who lost his parents
And soon his grandmother as well'

This shadow will try to ignore
The way people look at it now
They think the shadow need comfort
But what it needs is out of reach

Sometimes this shadow walks in the rain
So no one can see its tears
But this shadow cant hide the fact
That deep inside its no longer there
