Shadow

Shadows creep in behind the stars Like a sign to what we are Evil dispersed between the lines Flames of dust we well define My fate is committed by a lock Its key; life begins to mock The blur created its own image Love became its own privilege Haste set out to win and lead Death turned into a remedy Fear trickled down poor time Broken faith on a sturdy spine Caught a glimpse of one tear Became an ocean oh so clear Cheated our way to the end When time was our only friend.
