I live in the darkness of a shadow
It extends years before I was even known to exist
The pain it carries is deep
and burns deep in the soul of my loved ones
I try to reach out from behind
Crawling on hands and knees
Begging
Crying
Praying knowing prayers are never heard
One day I’ll walk once again in light
Under her sun
Shining bright
Gracing me with it’s love
Full and glorious
Until that day I lay waiting
Like a vampire in his grave
