Shadows
I didn't want to take me life
I'd have really liked to stay.
But my sins were to great to heal
So I had to go away.
I felt no pain, just cool relief
My blood splashed to the floor.
Icy darkness closing in
Released, my spirit soars.
It's dark again. The light is gone.
A whisper of wind so cold.
A hum of shadows at my ear
Speaking regrets I must be told.
Help me. I'm lost. Alone and afraid.
Won't you please come back for me?
Hold me close, say it's alright?
Bring your light so that I can see?
The voices whisper louder now
Am I too lost to be found?
My desperate cries never heard,
In the shadows they resound?
And then you're there. I see your light
The shadows are chased away.
And I feel warm, the numbness gone
Like I was never broken that day.
And I'm scared. So scared I cannot move.
Terror courses through my veins.
Can you ever forgive the things I've done?
Can we ever be the same?
And you smile. So warm and caring
You hold out your hand to me.
Tell me not to fear the future
Nevermore, for we are free.
Free from sadness and regret
Free from all my sins.
Free from endless nights alone
Free from the hell we were in.
But still I cry, for I detest
Hate myself for what I've done.
I know I was not myself at the time
But to kill for mindless fun?
All the souls, ripped away
Ended by my hand
Haunt me in the shadows
Will this pain ever end?
Again you tell me it's ok
That I should never need to fear.
That you're here now, never leaving
And not to shed another tear.
But how can I not cry in pain?
How can I ever forget?
Every innocent life I took away
For forgiveness from you I beg.
You tell me not to worry
There is nothing to forgive.
For you were never angry
Just sad you could not live.
Live to be there for me
Be there when I cried.
Live your life right next to me
To love and not ask why.
Now I tell you it's ok.
That I am happy now.
Happy we finally have each other
To love and not ask how.
And finally I am whole once more
You hold me in your arms.
Say your here, it's over now
No pain and no more harm.
And finally my love, we're whole
Together our spirits soar.
The shadows lost forever in the past
They can't hurt me anymore.
