Shadow in the Heart
There’s a shadow in my heart
so I can’t come out to play.
But I need something to go
with the salt of my tears.
A piece of hope, perhaps?
Or a slice apathy
to hide the bitterness of my empathy?
I’ll just crawl into a corner of life
and wait for a cloud to erase my shadow.
“White is black and black is white
say the defenders of the night
breathing lies and spreading fright
claiming our needs make their wrongs right.”
Dartwill Aquila
