Spoilt By Shadows

If night is sorrow

Spoil me with shadows

The world is still turning

But I'm turning still…

At its deepest bottom

Its darkest core

I missed out on life

On humanity's greatness

Its compassion, modesty, and its lore

Or so they say…

Haunted by illusions

Scattered by gruesome desires

I've come to learn their words

Are nothing but imaginary lies

And a hallow made of broken dreams

Here in my shadows

I'm safe

Unleashed

This may not be the place for me

But I cannot be where I want to be.
