I sent my little boy into the world,
It made the light go out of his eyes.
He was scared of his own shadow
Jumping at the slightest sound.
The world was watching with slit eyes
Stalking and toying with your courage.

I thought he was gone,
When the pale ghost of a smile disappeared.
He must be in the afterlife,
With shadows and darkness.
I tried to search, but I couldn't go beyond the tombs.

He is lost to us now,
Living in a realm we cannot reach.
The veil prevents us,
From seeing beyond the surface.
He lives in my home,
Even has the same voice.
He isn't my son.
The world buried his life force.
