Shadows
The unmerciful pain caresses me
Defenses are down, trust dissolved
It invades my heart, then my body
What's left is merely a shadow
And no one knows how to reach me
All-forgiving, all-telling
Always trusting, pitiful
Now left broken in my mind
No one to care, feeling abandoned
A little betrayed and left behind
Giving in to the urges
So tempting, a silver blade
Little resistance as it glides along
Darkness makes its presence known
Don't think I'll be awake for long
Nothing left for me, now warm and red
As fingertips trace the wounded flesh
Two perfect lines, but no one knows
The fire in my soul has died
And my unbeating hear
