Hello There Shadow Dear


You sit behind me in the midnight sun

Urging me forward toward the edge 

Always there my dark twin

You are the sin to my light

It takes everthing to fight the pull

Oh how sweet it would be 

to indulge in the darkness

But alas I can not

For I do not belong here

I bow my head and whisper

Hello There Shadow Dear 

Then I let you push me over edge
