There is a beauty inside me
I can feel it
It reminds me of my solitude
I walk alone down the path of life
There are friends along the way
But none that remain to the end
Secretly a shadow trudges ahead of me
Never stopping, never looking back
The energy around my body is intense
Escalating with every carefully placed step
I walk quietly, tip-toeing through the silence
Not wanting to disturb the gentle balance
I survey the twists and turns that lay ahead
Though I cannot see them, they lay waiting
Salivating at their chance to surprise me
Causing my feet to stumble and slowing my progress
The shadow before my eyes dances
It taunts my every step
Slipping around the bend
The shadow vanishes from my sight
Losing track of my guide I become lost
Despair takes ahold of my heart
Will I ever regain that contact?
I follow the long winding curve
There, the shadow stands waiting
It beckons to me, obediently I go
Deep brown eyes materialize
Casting a trance upon my psyche
The shadow becomes a dark whisp
That dances seductively around my head
Infiltrating my senses, we merge
Forming a most blessed union
With me now, we walk along a new path
The shadow is binded to me, and I to it
One day I will see behind the darkness
And gaze lovingly upon the face of my angel.
