In the darkness,
There is truth,
Breeding behind the shadows,
Sliding out now and again,
To peer into the world of light…

I stay there,
So I can see it,
Whisper my secrets,
And it keeps them safe,
It will never tell…

Most fear the dark,
The shadows that hide there,
But not I,
It’s there that I see you,
Listen to the words and dreams,
You try to share…

Sometimes I feel I’ve lost my way,
Yet in the dark,
It doesn’t matter,
Everything is the same…

Truth and despair stand side by side,
Love and dreams are afraid to come there,
You think I do not care,
But that was never true ,

I love so much it hurts,
See what you want me to believe,
But alas my jaded eyes pass over you,
Your pretense does not fool me!

I am the shadow that pains your heart,
The fear that leaves you trembling in the dark,
But I am not afraid,
And though you think me brave,

I must tell you the truth,
I am just like you!
Searching in the shadows,
For a reason to live,

Trying to live each day,
As best I can,
Trying to understand,
Just what the hell was,
The master plan…

Looking for where you hid the truth,
The reason you come unbidden,
Into my dreams at night,
The reason I struggle,
To peer from the shadows,
Into your world of light…
