A Beautiful Disaster

My lonely freedom is a mask,

I'm devastated by my shadow;

It's not less charming, yet so shallow,

A beautiful deceptive mess.



The shadow will disappear

Just when the darkness reigns our place.

But through this darkness my true face

Will be obscure - unless you're here.



And when you find me living dead,

The glance of ice will melt completely,

My sorrow is quelled so sweetly -

You've shown me life with no regret.



You strive - I strive, you fall - I follow,

Wherever you go, so do I.

Behind the shadow of sorrow

You've seen just me and brought to life.
