One I cannot escape
Through twist and turn, rain and shine
The shadow remains
Fire did not cleanse it
The sun will not wear it away
There is a shadow haunting me
Shadow of pain remains
Back turned I feel it's stare
Burning into my soul
Forever there
There is a shadow haunting me
The shadow is her memory
No pain is great enough
No distance far enough away
The presence of the shadow always remains
Laughter it echoes in return
Making bitter even the sweetest of moments
Kindness falls mute by its simple existence
The shadow I fear will soon win
As my will is coming to an end
Hallow it shapes the life I once loved
Replacing my heart with its darkening void
The shadow will win
I fear in the end
As I cast aside this old skin
To find my self once again
Finding myself the shadow will fade
Her memory will finally relinquish to grave
Her darkness must fall from my life's sky
Laughing at Rain
I forget her to find myself once again
There once was a shadow that haunted me
I left her with the man who cast her into my life
Far away I hear echoes
There is a shadow haunting his life.
