I resign myself to the shadows

Once more

Cold, clammy fingers caress my heart

Ease my pain

Wipe away the tears of sorrow

To the shadows I retire

Yet again

A blanket of darkness

Of which I am cradled within

Take away the pain

This shroud of darkness is my comfort

As always

My best friend that never falters

And is always there in my time of need

Show me the light of happiness

The light is sheltered within the darkness

It is there one can find the solace

As well as the comfort of solitude

To get back on their feet

And live once more
