Shadow's Poetry

Chapter 1

"Her eyes are like a diamonds"

There are always two sides to every story. Even a dark mysterious hedgehog with no past and no remorse can have another side to him.

Shadow raced down the street as he made his way back to his home in the city. He leaped from car to car, not missing a beat even as cars screached to a halt to avoid hitting him. He smirked as a car slid almost crashing into a pole. He ran up the side of a building and stopped at a window sill before climbing inside. He entered his room, then closed the blinds behind him. He grabbed a small notebook off a shelf along with a pen. He plomped himself down onto a small sofa and began to write:

Night has fallen and the moon has risen,

Stars have come out to dance in the night sky...

Most are sleeping while I can not...

for I see her face when I close my eyes.

Her face... is that of an angel...

so beautiful and light

Her eyes are like diamonds,

that shine so bright.

Her hair flows like a gentle breeze

her lips...ahh..her lips I have longed to kiss

but alas...that shall never be...

since they took her away from me.

I roam the city streets alone..

without her by my side...

I hide in the shadows...

pushing everyone away.

Using anger to cover up my fear,

frustration to cover up my insecurities..

I wear a smirk on my face...to hide a frown

I do all this so they can't see....

the pain that have built up inside of me.

I say her name over again in my mind,

Maria...Maria...Maria.
