Dark

Peer into my eyes

Eclipsed lenses reflect the distance

Between you and me

We are further than we seem

Hold my breath

My fingertips graze your palms

But the warmth is gone

Left to stumble in the dark

I blinked and part of me was gone

Hope goes up in smoke

Vapor dissipates

I lost my shadow

I feel you slipping away

But I need you to stay

You contour the source

To black out the light

My shadow

For the sake of life

I cross the line

To look back at the day

I left myself behind

Self separated from soul

I lost my shadow

Black out

Dancing shapes against the wall

The somber melody inside

Sings in black and white

The glow flickers out

Glimmer into night

I lost my shadow

Black out the light

Hollow, cold

Self from soul

Self separated from soul

I lost my shadow, black out the light

Hollow and cold, self from soul
