Flirting with Fangs


The lady went long without her love

While her own heartaches

Could being apart really be the fate

Never wanting his heart to break

 

The shadow forever loved by the lady

And forever cared for by her

She emerges from her reservation and shies

Her will her family bring their err

 

The legend of the shadow long-forgotten

New eras lay ahead

No longer reign the rotten

Wishing for lead of silver in the shadow’s head

 

Never shall the shadow be an innocent dove

But none the less she offers her love
