Shadows On The Wall

Clara

Shadows on the wall, can you see her?

Can you hear her silent screams as the sun falls from the sky? 

Do you witness each abuse? 

Each crime against humanity? 

Each feverent prayer? 

Just to soak it up within your deep dark snare? 

 

Shadows on the wall, you're a secret keeper. 

Your dark tendrils reach out at night 

You grasp, claim and display the pain 

Yet come the light of day, 

You gladly disappear! 

 

What emerges is the person who just gets on with their day

A smile, a laugh, a tortured soul 

Encased in shadows wrapped in light

Ready to fight another day 

Only to face the pending night.
