I am a shadow,
Hiding,
Fearing.
Darkness prevailing,
As it hunts me in my sleep.

I am a tear
Wet to the touch
Waiting to forget.
Sadness in my eyes,
Mirrors reflect what I am.

I am a voice
Never heard
And never understood.
Through the night I whisper
Alas, if a soul could hear me speak.

When the good times end
When I hear the sirens go off
Watch me as I fade,
Fade into the air.
Watch me as I blend,
Blend in without fair.
See me as I go,
Walk out
Through the back door
Like a shadow,
Like a tear,
A voice,
That was never heard.
