A/N: Hi, it's me again! Another one of my odd works, with this time Shadow confessing his point of view about Miss Maria's murder. If anyone at all would like to use this poem for anything, go right ahead. Ask first of course!

[The Light Within the Darkness]



It's amusing,

I'm so confused I don't even know which ways up anymore

I can't even think.

Places and people start to all look the same

And they're all looking my way…

Don't stop, don't look,

Don't even show me your face

You'll never know what it's like

To live in my nightmare

Nothing looks the same

Sometimes I wake up

With the pain and sorrow of yesterday's shadows

Creeping up on me again

Maria…



WHY CAN'T I JUST FORGET YOU!



"Shadow…"



I loved you so much…then THEY took you away from me



"…Please I beg of you…"



On that horrible day I promised you, REVENGE…



"…For all the people of Earth…"



They caused you pain, and gave you death



"…Let them be happy…"



But it hurts me more sweet angel, it hurts me more…



"…Sayonara Shadow, the Hedgehog…"



I've kept my promise to you Maria, after so long I've kept it still

Till we meet again my friend, till we meet again…
