Sometimes it's lonely at night

Sometimes I see shadows

I like to be in my solitary

but when I finally come out the only thing that welcomes me is a silence so loud it's almost like war

It's over bearing but Lady Night keeps everthing dark

so I call the shadows

They frighten me and whisper like wind that blows through the trees

but atleast I don't feel as empty

Other times the Moon keeps me company

sometimes I say things and she cries for me

She feels bad that she can't give me the light I need

When not even the Moon or the shadows can help me

I sit infront of a mirror

I sit there, listening

Listening to the mirror grind and shake

I listen and watch until my features become something less familiar

I sit there until I see you

But nonetheless I know everything is still dark and that all I'll ever have is the shadows that frighten me
