~ *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 meaning

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
