Chasing Shadows

From the day they met, chaos in the air

He was a mess, but she didn’t care

First glance love, a spark in her eye

Now today’s goodbye, as he boards that bus to fly

Weekend fades, Monday’s grip tightens

They say their farewells, uncertain tightenings

Down the road, this fling morphs into a thing

He finds his feet, chasing hope, chasing dreams

He’s working hard, got that fire in his soul

Making sure needs are met, trying to be whole

They burn in the night, passion’s loud cry

But in daylight, all they do is fight, fight, fight

She blames him for her choices, wrapped in insecurities

Gift wrapped pain, hiding in her pleas

To her, he’s a deceiver, a lying dog in her eyes

But truth cuts deep, he’s a dog, loyal and wise

He’s housebroken, protective, standing his ground

A love that’s faulty, yet profoundly found

Chasing the bag, money on her mind

Love’s just a shadow she can’t seem to find

Fighting and loving, a tangled web spun

Two hearts broken, yet still they run

From chaos to calm, or maybe just despair

They’re bound in this story, a love unaware

Moments of fire, moments of doubt

What’s the real story they’re all about?
