Collecting Shadows

I see the shadow on the wall

It seems to bare your resemblance

In my heart I hold it long until

The curtains fall

And I recall holding you… in my dreams

 

I watch at your door

For the moment you see me

For the idea of a heart so dear to me

Why can’t it be

I want you for my own

 

Sit beside me and mesmerize

Behind the knots I know your smile

And if they’re let lose you’ll cry

“save me”

It’s the same as my plea

 

Now I find you tiring

Slowly drifting off to sleep

Your struggle is noted

But it won’t keep me

From you

Focus on the red dripping from your cheek

I found my love in envy

From the words I’ve heard you speak

Why can’t it be

Staying here with me

I can smell you all around me

I can taste you on my fingertips

F**k you

 

Sit beside me and mesmerize

Behind the knots I know your smile

And if they’re let lose you’ll cry

“save me”

It’s the same as my plea
