Have You Ever Lived In A Shadow?

Have you ever lived in a shadow?

Dark, foreboding and desperate.

The cold of its night lasts forever

Until the gloaming true .

 


Only in the still of twilight does the

Shadow walk with everyone.

And everyone walks in the shadow

I need to dwell there too.

 


Have you ever lived in a shadow?

Dark, foreboding and desperate.

A void across the counter cultures of time

Infinite in thy gloom.

 


Give up your darkness increasing

Lose the length of day.

A covenant of ominous desire

Our closest companion of truth.

 


Have you ever lived in a shadow?

Dark, foreboding and desperate.

A stoic penchant before the dawn

And Lucifer after the day doth set.

 


Quasi human in steadfast nature

Oh, serenely melancholy one

Perpetuated by a dream

Caught up in a sallow shade.

 


Have you ever lived in a shadow?

The dark, foreboding, desperate forevermore.
