My shadows and I

Time slowely drips on by,
The ground, the people, the sky,
All fade, wilt, die,
All I can see are my shadows,
Which become me,
I have lived too long with a aching heart,
That I feel we can never part,
My shadow is a part of me,
No, it is me,
And if I am ever free,
Then I will not be me,
I'll be a cold creature,
I'll loose all my features,
I wont have the same complex mind,
My feelings will be easier to find,
And I want to release all my fear,
But then I know it'll be clear,
That simply being me, all smoth not rough,
Will not be enough,
For people to keep loving me.


So that is my fear,
But luckily my recovery is not near,
For now I'll keep fighting on,
And I will never be gone,
For death is not the answer to my puzzle,
I'm not going to meet my end in a hurry,
Because for all my friends,
They need me more now than ever,
And I need to be clever,
I need to hold on to those who love me with both hands,
and never let go,

never let go.....

Please, never let me go.....
