These shadows drift
They stretch so long
I see a small glint of light
But that is all

Huddled up, I hug my legs
For security and love is what I beg
But nothing comes, I still pray
Maybe soon, Maybe some day

The sun shines through this cell
But it’s still dark in my heart
I reach out to the light
But it is still too far

You’re asking me to feel
Feelings that have gone numb
I can barely feel things at all
Though I can feel some

I can feel insecure and broken
But that’s not what you ask for
You ask for love, compassion
I can’t give you anymore

I forgot how to smile
Tears are all I taste
My energy and body
Have both gone to waste

I wait for you’re return
Although the odds say otherwise
My heart can grow no more
You’ve shrunk it down to size

And it won’t let anyone in
I feel so alone
I guess I’ll have to fend this darkness
On my own
