My Shadow

The Darkness grows inside of me,

And calls to my soul.

It begs me to fly to it

And lose my control.

It temps me and teases;

Tortures me so sweet,

But I won't give in to it.

I will not fall.

 

The freedom.

The dreaming.

The pain deep inside.

This emptiness pulls me,

But I know I must hide.

 

I fall to my knees now;

Struggle to stand up

Because I know if I give in

I won't come back.

The shadows deep inside

Beg me and plead,

But I turn away so that I

Will not fall.

 

The desire.

The Fire.

The pain deep inside.

It burns me and calls to me,

But I know I must hide

 

And I want to give in.

I want to be free.

The darkness allures and tempts me.
