BROKEN SHADOW

You show me pain
Then tell me to adapt

You slaughter me until death
Then tell me to rise again

I watch and learn
Hear and obey
I taste and shudder
For the pain brought down upon me
Will be more than I have ever felt

My eyes locked to yours
Tell me now, was it you?
That told me to die...
That destroyed me...
That showed me the shadows...
That brought me to light

My body trembling within your grasp
Feeling you engulf me
Pulling me yet closer
Earth-shattering sights to be seen
All within your blazing eyes

Your hands grasping my fading form
Trying to preserve me
Wanting to pervade me
All for yourself

Tell me now
Those words again
I shall learn and be me
I will not fail again

It was easier for you
And I was to die
To dream of it again
Within my own mind
To see you here again
And hold you within my arms
Just leave me, and let it be
Let the past be burned
I want to move on

Just go now
Leave me within the shadows
To become one myself
Leave now, leave me
To be broken since that day
A broken shadow within my mind
Of what I once was
Of what I could be
