Shadows of Illusion

Folder: 
Gothic

Shadows of dark,
Shadows of light,
Shadows of illusion,
Here is where I live my life.
Shadows of love,
Shadows of hate,
Shadows of dreams,
Only nightmares come true.
Do you know me?
Have we met before,
In a dark and strange land,
Far beyond reality's door?
Do you chase your dreams?
Or hang them out to dry?
Do you welcome the nightmares?
or run and hide in fright?
Do you want to see my world?
I come from a land of gloom
I am your worst nightmare come true
I come from the land where, in the shadows of illusion, there lurks nothing but doom
Do you believe that just because you can't see something it isn't real?
You laugh because I'm different-
I laugh because you're all the same,
So remember these words-
All who wonder are not lost,
And all that are lost do not wonder...
