Shadow
Folder:
Crazies So beautiful outside
Sun shining, smile do I grace
Casting my shadow to the ground
Complete and whole without a face
So invisible the shadows tale
Like trying to read eyes
Behind sunglasses
Where Color lies
Do you see it
Can you tell
I AM
C R U M B L I N G
Deep within these crevaces
If you can read between the lines
You will see I am dying from the inside out
Does anyone out there want to take the time?
Look behind the shades, do you see my eyes are glazed?
Perhaps you would rather just pretend all is well
Too much work to console a friend I'm sure
You didn't reach out, so I fell
Dissappeared without a trace
Sun hiding behind clouds
No shadow, no face
