Shadows in the dark ...


but it is dark, so black...
shadows?
it's impossible to see shadows in the dark,
idiot.


Only you would know.
You're immersed in the dark,
blackness that to you is light,
   but to me is pain.
How do you embrace it?


it is who i am.
i don't grow up, i just am.
pain is what i know, because i knew it then
(shhhh.....the shadows are my memories.....
               you can't see them.....)


Show me!  I want to know the truth you're hiding!
Your truth could free me from the split,
the unholy dichotomy,
the essence of division.
Tell me, and we can be One.


no, stupid, then i die.
i become you, and that's the end.
i'll keep my shadows in the dark




far away from you.

Yes .. the shadows
also in pitch-dark
times gone .. even so
.. ever will they hark!
the shadows are real
especially those I feel.
