The Shadow of the Night


How did night reign over my heart?
The evil is persistent; the darkness
knows my wickedness all too well.
If I wait on tomorrow, fate may
bring me a refreshing smile.
Till then, I remain silent
between what went before
and what is yet to come.


Is my shadow going to save me?
I have emptied out the words that
doomed me to fail. Lacking courage
I shall never be, for when I am with you,
I choose to be true, to be free, to be - me.
