The Shaddow
March 16, 2014
I just need an escape,
I need a voice without fear
I need a calm, quiet place
And a day without tears.
And I want it to end,
The anger, the pain
The swearing, the outbursts
The cold, driving rain.
Because a long time ago,
The pennies stopped falling
And the birds left the trees
Yesterday I stopped calling
And when it’s all over
What will be left?
Of the life that we led
And the sun that has set
Without any notice
On a world between where I’m standing
And you.
