Philip Daniel Cook

Shape-Shifter

With the last string of my heart.

I pulled you along for the ride.

Chaos stepped aside, but I rendered my pride.

 

Uttering those words of betrayal and disdain.

I found myself pulled by whatever you could reign.

 

And I\'m the only one who knows all your secrets.

But secrets aren\'t anything compared to lies.

 

Hidden beneath me, is the world at my fingers.

It\'s been shape-shifted.

Hidden beneath my eyes was the stars but they fell.

And they are forgotten children.

 

It\'s been a long time coming, but even longer

in the mind. And space cannot define us by

what we find in this life. It\'s been a long ride,

but the earth hasn\'t even begun to move 

in it\'s journey where as us, we pale 

in her moon.
