Shadow Psalm

Mums the word

These days when it comes to you

Restrained is a word

In ways when I think of you

These words awkward

When there is no one to tell them to

Want to tell the truth

Want to scream it out

But I know the truth

Who will hear me out

What is left to lose

Now I'm screaming out

Hello darkness my old friend

My words will reach you in the end

Even as I try to stay away

Here in my heart you've come to play

Sing it to the strings

Tell it to the rope

Strum it with the fingers

Of my fallen hope

Unanswered feelings linger

As I try to cope

Sing it to the shadows

Send it to the darkest part

Sing it from the gallows

Straight from my broken heart

When my very being hollows

Tell me where to start

Hello darkness my old foe

I've come to tell a tale of woe

Even as I try to make them stay

It seems my joys just fade away
