Heavy shadows

In the midnight glare where you always stood,

Your shadow hides beneath that weathered hood.

You scream and shout but no one hears your cries,

Your own reflection’s your fiercest enemy’s eyes.

She’s out with friends, laughter fills the air,

You wonder why she’s never really there.

Clenched fists of rage, shadowed by your pride,

Her absence now’s the chasm you can’t hide.

I’m watching you from shadows, see the way you treat her wrong,

Can’t you hear her silent cries? She’s been hurting far too long.

Why don’t you care? Where did the love go?

You look at me, but you just don’t know.

Her heart’s gone cold, frozen like ice,

Your love’s a burden — she won’t think twice.

Darkness pours — you drink it like a flood,

Pain concealed in veins, coursing restless blood.

Chained by wrath, it’s driving you astray,

But she’s gone — light walking a different way.

Thunder cracks — your anger knows no bounds,

But she’s found solace on safer ground.

Eyes see red with nowhere left to land,

The world spins wild, slipping through your hands.

Why don’t you care? Where did the love go?

You look at me, but you just don’t know.

Her heart’s gone cold, frozen like ice,

Your love’s a burden — she won’t think twice.
