I'm not really sure what to think of this one... some parts of it work, but some don't and I can't figure out how to fix them. I find rhyme kind of difficult to get right, and I'm terrible at judging my own work, so I can't tell if this is any good or not.

A Shadow's Lullaby
ooo
You watch me from the edge of light
with colors in your eyes
And though I my face away
you cut through my disguise
You see me, a broken mirror,
riddle with no key,
a mask of silken silence
and a wall of mystery
I know you wonder who I am
I know you wonder why
I know you search for shadows
when the sunset paints the sky
And you, a creature of the sun,
The twilight's rainbow child
The daughter of the morning
With your eyes so bright and wild
An artist, paints and brush in hand,
a trickster with a grin,
a child sleeping softly now
'til morning comes again
And I must keep the vigil
while shadows have their reign,
yet I would hold you in my arms
and keep you safe from pain
And in the silence of the night
when all your dreams run dry
then I would sing you back to sleep,
a shadow's lullaby
