The Shadow

I once had a friend who walked amongst the shadows

a quiet little guy that had not much to say

but what no one knew is every night he wished himself away

because of all the words he wished not to be alive

and as for the bruises they just made him want to die

all he wanted was help but no one could see

so he thought himself a monster to be

I remember that note he passed on by

"I walk amongst the shadows with these faded lies."

that night I got a phone call

to hear his pitiful cries

as he whispered softly a gentle good bye
