1 Cast a Shadow

My weary eyes were fogged

And it's only darkness that I see.

My body, my heart feels trapped.

An indication of nowhere to be free.

Hushed whispers is all that I hear.

Everything that I am is all that they fear.

Monsters, thats how we are called.

Like a candle's flame, we are feared and adored.

We define darkness and cast shadows.

We defy happiness and cost sorrows.

And as my body trembles and the rose withered.

Soaked with tears and blood, I whispered.

"Stars that shine so bright, I hide your fires;

Hear my pleads, hear my cries

Let not light see my black and deep desires.

I am no angel but I am more than meets the eyes."
