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 spend a lifetime without it.
