your shadow

your shadow never leaves

i hate to see you with it

the way it darkens your brightest days

the way it swallows your saddest nights

youre no fool

you see it too

following your every move

the lingering regret

the bottemless despair

the kind of hurt that leaves you

just gasping for air

i hate your shadow

the way it swallows you whole

i hate your shadow

and the way it breaks your soul

you deserve cloudless days

you deserve starry nights

so let me be your light
