Shadows

Shadows of a thousand faces
Keep on turning in your mind
Unforgotten names and places
Never really left behind

Is it your imagination
Seeking shelter from the rain
Or a long self conversation
Once again

Shadows never point a finger
At the things you say or do
Silently they seem to linger
Anywhere you may run to

Sharing every joy or torment
Every laughter or despair
Facing you at any moment
If you dare

Gentle hearts that once surrendered
What you did'nt understand
Conquests of a night ended

Holding you with trembling hands
In a book a four leaf clover
Marks the day you said hello
Till she found that it was over
Long ago

Little things had lost their meanin
Leaving only emptiness
Tender words and simple feelings
Never eased your hungriness

Yesterdays remain so certain
And tomorrow's round the bend
Can you read the line that darkness on your hand

Both ends of a candle burning
Shine so brightly for a while
Wrinkles of a life reflecting
In your smile

Shadows never point a finger
All the things you say or do
Silently they seem to linger
Anywhere you may run to

Sharing every joy or torment
Every laughter or despair
Facing you at any moment
If you dare
