Looking for character in a beautiful face Looking for a beautiful soul in a beautiful body Never thought you needed the persona you were trying to show Never thought you were weak Never thought there was so much unknown Knew from the start why you were chosen Didn’t always understand what you did and why it happened But there was a reflection somewhere inside you How can two things never look alike and still reflect the same view? Our shadows don’t leave us yours and mine Maybe if we stood in the right places, at the right time We would become one shadow Thought gods had no fears Thought a man was a god though It took time to see that you were scared of something too What you fear is visible as clearly as what pulls you While somehow there was never a full view of me Only fragments were noticed never the whole of me Our shadows don’t leave us yours and mine Maybe if we stood in the right places, at the right time We would become one shadow Thought gods had no fears Thought a man was a god though Searching for depth inside a beautiful face Searching for a beautiful soul inside a beautiful body’s shape But there is nothing good here not in this darkness And love cannot survive here not inside this darkness Our shadows don’t leave us yours and mine Maybe if we stood in the right places, at the right time We would become one shadow But love cannot survive in this darkness Not here. x nursena

One Shadow
Looking for character in a beautiful face Looking for a beautiful soul in a beautiful body Never thought you needed the persona you were trying to show Never thought you were weak Never thought there was so much unknown Knew from the start why you were chosen Didn’t always understand what you did and why it happened But there was a reflection somewhere inside you How can two things never look alike and still reflect the same view? Our shadows don’t leave us yours and mine Maybe if we stood in the right places, at the right time We would become one shadow Thought gods had no fears Thought a man was a god though It took time to see that you were scared of something too What you fear is visible as clearly as what pulls you While somehow there was never a full view of me Only fragments were noticed never the whole of me Our shadows don’t leave us yours and mine Maybe if we stood in the right places, at the right time We would become one shadow Thought gods had no fears Thought a man was a god though Searching for depth inside a beautiful face Searching for a beautiful soul inside a beautiful body’s shape But there is nothing good here not in this darkness And love cannot survive here not inside this darkness Our shadows don’t leave us yours and mine Maybe if we stood in the right places, at the right time We would become one shadow But love cannot survive in this darkness Not here. x nursena
