Shadows

If only you could see the real me,

Not the girl I pretend to be.

Watching, waiting, anticipating.

To see the day,

It will all be okay.

When the shadows stay away.

Fearing to come play.

Sleeping with one eye open.

Remembering how it's been.

Over and over again.

Hoping Fate will rearrange.

Love can change.

Futile to try and hide.

Just open your mind.

Remember the fear in my eyes.

Know where the answer lies.

I stay awake at night.

Praying it will be alright.

Find they key,

To saving me.

With my last long breath,

I say I love while greeting my death.
