Shadow
June 20, 2014Produce of light
Following everywhere
Who are you?
Why do you follow me?
Wake when I awake
But leave when I sleep
Following everywhere
Who are you?
Why do you follow me?
Wake when I awake
But leave when I sleep
Are you the protagonist of my dreams?
I cannot see me when I close my eyes
And Enter this Nocturnal world.
I see you, dark shadow
Carrying my emotions
Are you observing my actions?
Punishing me for the wrongs.
Reminding the sorrows to coexist with Happiness.
You are.
Always there beside me.
I never startled at your existence
Only the first time I met you.
I do not recall.
Yet, never do you remind me.
Whom gives you right?
It must be you in my dreams,
For I can never see my face.
Or is it that when I wake I still cannot?
No, your shadow Overpowers.
I see no hands
I see no legs
I feel though.
I worry. When I wake.
Think about where you took me.
Where we went
You don't reveal yourself
Not until my day begins
And you leave when it ends.
But I must express my gratitude
For you accompany all
Even those who cannot see.
Protagonist of Daydreams
Reliving the moments I can't
Causing both plain and pleasure
Why do we always feel lonely?
Carrying my emotions
Are you observing my actions?
Punishing me for the wrongs.
Reminding the sorrows to coexist with Happiness.
You are.
Always there beside me.
I never startled at your existence
Only the first time I met you.
I do not recall.
Yet, never do you remind me.
Whom gives you right?
It must be you in my dreams,
For I can never see my face.
Or is it that when I wake I still cannot?
No, your shadow Overpowers.
I see no hands
I see no legs
I feel though.
I worry. When I wake.
Think about where you took me.
Where we went
You don't reveal yourself
Not until my day begins
And you leave when it ends.
But I must express my gratitude
For you accompany all
Even those who cannot see.
Protagonist of Daydreams
Reliving the moments I can't
Causing both plain and pleasure
Why do we always feel lonely?
