Cold Here In Your Shadow

It's cold here in your shadow,
For once you take a turn,
To see me wallowing in your presence,
The tears in my eyes begin to burn.

This is not the first, nor is it the last,
I'll follow you until the dawn,
And from here I'll watch you forever,
Feeling helpless, lost and forlorn.

You're beautiful, you're perfect,
Yet you can't understand my mind,
And all the while you're walking,
I'm following behind.

Why did you ever keep me?
I'm a burden at your side;
You should never have resurrected me,
The day that I died.

I wonder for the hundredth time,
Why you keep me near,
I'm just glad to belong here with you,
With you I feel no fear.
