shadows

we sit among these growing shadows,

standing on the brink of an unknown tomorrow,

hiding somewhere between the darkness and the light,

safe within this land of perpetual sorrow;

moments come and moments go my dear one,

leaving only traces they were here at all,

this moment we hold alone,

free from a land full of killers and madness,

a world of defined boundaries and limits,

designed to imprison all that live within their deadly gates,

and to you do I say;

that it is better to lie here among these shadows with you,

than to walk among the light with any other,

better to have tasted your love even for a moment,

than a lifetime without it.
