Your shadow is proof, that glowing beams of light have traveled millions of miles
Racing towards the earth
Just to be stopped, just short of the ground, and landing on your smiles
You begin to question life’s worth

For a shadow is a silhouette of something that passed
The faceless form of grace
Holding on, and painting memories in the outline that does not last
In the deepest black I can see your face

Too often do I listen to the silence of the night
And peer into the gloom that runs across my forgetful room
Not often enough can I gaze onto a new face in the light
As the flowers bloom I stay locked within my tomb

I know we will see each other one day, I could not wish for more
For you were the only one that my eyes could adore

Wishful thinking, my heart blinking, this time I must be sure
My feet are sinking, confidence shrinking, trying to find the cure

But its not you, I cant go through, my heart I wont expose
With my hope gone, how can I go on? Continue to chase shadows
